While Artisan Builders works hard to make your space feel luxurious down to every detail, it’s you and your family that make it feel like home. But every family’s needs are different, and we’re here to make sure your home accommodates whatever those needs may be. It is becoming increasingly more common for multiple generations of a family to live in a single home. These are aptly called “multigenerational homes,” which provide the space and flexibility for varying living arrangements.
With a multigenerational home from Artisan Builders, you don’t have to compromise on the luxury details that we promise. But in case you’re unsure of whether a multigenerational home is right for you, here are some design features and options you may want to consider.
Extra Suite vs. Guest House
There are a few different ways to lay out a multigenerational home, all depending on what will work best for your family. Some homes may offer an entire floor as a designated space for one generation, such as parents, grandparents or adult children. This gives some privacy and ample space to accommodate its resident(s). Another option, which offers even more privacy, is to build a guest house where a generation can have a space that is completely their own but still close to family.
Communal vs. Private Space
With so many people living under one roof, it’s also important to determine what space will be private and what will be communal. Multigenerational homes offer residents their own bedrooms and bathrooms. But this privacy can extend to an additional living area, an office or even a secondary kitchen. Other homes may simply keep the main kitchen and living room as an inclusive space for all residents.
Shared vs. Personal Amenities
Depending on the level of privacy that is desired by each generation in the home, there are other amenities that are included in many multigenerational homes. As previously mentioned, some homes have secondary kitchens and living rooms. They may also include private entrances, additional parking, secondary laundry rooms and much more.
For families that are looking for flexible living that accommodates caring for young children, family bonding and more, a multigenerational home is a great option. From looking after aging grandparents to adult children returning home, Artisan Builders’ multigenerational homes can address whatever your specific needs may be.
