Multigenerational House Plans That Meet Everyone’s Needs

Family life isn't one-size-fits-all – and we believe your home shouldn't be either.

Across Melbourne's many cultures, living under the same roof with parents, grandparents and even extended family is simply part of everyday life. Whether it's helping hands with the kids, supporting ageing parents, or just having everyone under one roof, multigenerational living is a tradition that's only growing stronger.

That's why we design homes for the way families really want to live. From guest suites with private ensuites – perfect for grandparents or visiting relatives – to multiple living areas that give everyone room to relax. Our kitchens are made for big family dinners, and our flexible floorplans are designed to grow and adapt as your family does, creating lasting memories.

What to consider when building a multigenerational home

If you're thinking about a multigenerational home, you'll want to explore creating spaces for everyone, including children, adults and older family members. Here are some key design features to consider in multigenerational house plans to maximise the advantages of multigenerational living.

Future-proof living spaces

Flexible floor plans make it easier to adapt your home as children move into their teenage years or elderly family members move in. Ground floor access and a second master suite with ensuite can help future-proof your new home for multigenerational living.

Ensuites to every bedroom

Privacy is non-negotiable in multigenerational living arrangements. Choose home designs with large bedrooms that include ensuites, offering private spaces and convenience for every family member.

Handy multi-use rooms

In any busy multigenerational home, having quiet areas is essential. Incorporate leisure rooms, study nooks, prayer rooms and window seats, providing inviting spaces for solitude and personal space in what can be a busy household.

Spacious kitchen with butler's pantry

The kitchen is the heart of a multigenerational home. Choose a design with a spacious kitchen and functional butler’s pantry to help with meal prep. The main kitchen bench can double as a serving area, making family gatherings a breeze.

Seamless indoor-outdoor integration

Choose homes that flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living, with large sliding doors. Look for home designs with functional outdoor living space that doubles as an entertaining area and be sure to consider play areas for the kids.

Dual master suites

A second ground floor master suite can give grandparents or children privacy and independence and can be a great alternative to a granny flat, without the council headaches.

The benefits of multi-generational living

Every family has their unique reasons for choosing to live together in one family home and, often, these go beyond financial motivations.

Cultural traditions

For many families, living with parents, grandparents, and even extended family members is deeply rooted in cultural practices and shared family values. Homes that accommodate multiple generations can honour these traditions, ensuring stronger family bonds, shared experiences and a sense of unity.

Support and connection

Having grandparents living with you means they can play an active role in raising grandchildren, while adult children can provide assistance to ageing parents while allowing them to retain independence. This built-in support system offers every member of the family a sense of comfort and security.
