Designing for Dignity: Hannah Cheng on Multiplex Living, Aging-in-Place, and Truly Accessible Homes

Host Maria Kritikos welcomes Hannah Cheng, founder of CHY Design, for a heart-centered conversation on how multiplex housing can be beautiful, functional, and safe—especially for seniors, multigenerational families, and anyone with mobility challenges. Inspired by her grandmother’s story, Hannah shares practical, human-first design strategies that turn compact footprints into calm, livable homes.

What you’ll learn:

  • Aging-in-place essentials: zero-step entries, wider hallways, lever handles, curbless showers, non-slip flooring, motion-sensor lighting.
  • Space that flexes with life: adaptable layouts, smart storage, sound separation, and inviting outdoor areas that feel like an extension of the home.
  • Why multiplex matters: “missing middle” design that blends community and privacy—delivering single-family comfort without high-rise living.

If you care about safer, kinder homes that support dignity at every age, this session offers clear, actionable ideas to guide your next renovation, new build, or policy decision.

Have questions or want to explore how multiplexes could work for you?

Whether you’re a developer, buyer, investor, or homeowner, I’d love to connect.
