In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, the quest for tranquillity within our homes has become more paramount than ever.
What is a multi-generational home?
Multi-generational living is a lifestyle where multiple generations of a family reside together in a single household. It’s characterised by the coexistence of grandparents, parents, and children under one roof, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility.
Recommended features of a multi-generational home floor plan.
- Separate living areas
- Designing distinct living spaces allows each generation to have their own private area for relaxation and leisure.
- Separate kitchens
- If space permits, having separate kitchens or designated cooking areas can enhance privacy and autonomy within the household.
- Multiple master bedrooms
- Multiple master bedrooms cater to the different needs and preferences of each generation, offering individualised comfort.
- Ensuites for all bedrooms and/or main bedrooms
- Ensuites for each bedroom or, at the very least, the main bedrooms provide added convenience and privacy.
- Multiple bathrooms throughout the house
- Having multiple bathrooms throughout the house ensures that each generation has access to its own facilities, reducing congestion during peak times.
- Study and/or office spaces
- Dedicated study or office spaces cater to the diverse work and study needs of each family member, promoting productivity and concentration.
