This fall we're working on three new projects, and every one of them has multigenerational living built in from day one.
Families are rethinking how they use their homes and land. Aging parents want to stay close without giving up independence. Young adults coming home after high school or college need their own space. Now more than ever, we want flexibility for whatever life brings next, for us and our parents and kids.
A few ways we're designing for it:
🏡 Walkout basements with a private entrance. These make a perfect mother-in-law suite or a first place for a young adult who's not quite ready to move out.
🏠 Planning ahead for an ADU. Depending on where you live in the county, you may be able to add a second dwelling to your property. Setting aside the space and utilities now saves a lot of money and headaches later.
🔨 Future planning for Finished basements and garage apartments. Both add living space and long-term value without needing a bigger footprint. Think through what that would look like for your family.
The best time to plan for multigenerational living is before you actually need it. This is an element of design we plan to keep front of mind as we move forward into the coming years.
