3 Addition Projects for Multi-Generational Living
The trend for having more than one generation of a family living together under one roof, is growing in popularity throughout the U.S., and harks back to a bygone era where grandparents would help raise their children’s offspring. Often seen as a way to pool funds, or help care for senior members of a family, this way of living has a variety of advantages for everyone involved. However, while this trend has been on the rise, the average, traditional American home isn’t built to cater to multiple generations of the same family all living under one roof, making custom home building, the perfect solution. If you’d like to adapt your home to accommodate multiple generations of your family, here are 3 addition projects that can help you do exactly that:
1. Build a separate unit Often referred to as a ‘mother-in-law’ cottage, this type of addition is ideal for multi-generational living, and depending on how big you want it to be, a custom mother-in-law cottage could be built directly next to your home, or further away to allow for more privacy. Enabling you to keep certain members of your family close by, and doubling up as a rentable unit should the need arise, a separate unit is often the answer to many homeowners multi-generational living requirements.
2 .Build a second master If your home has yet to be constructed and you want to include other generations of your family and their needs when designing it, consider building a full second master in the plans. For senior relatives, a luxurious private suite where they can live semi-independently while being safe under your roof, could be ideal, especially if your home has yet to be constructed. If you want to add a second master to an existing home, then you’ll need to carefully consider whether you have enough space to do so, or whether you might need to extend your home upwards or outwards.
3. Add a wing In this home-expanding addition project, the options really are limitless, and if budget and space permits, you could even include a small kitchen, living room, and laundry facility to the wing so that parents can live independently while still being close by. However you choose to bring your multigenerational family together, it will undoubtedly bring a number of benefits to everyone involved and should you decide to sell the property in the future, any one of the 3 projects listed above, could help you sell it faster, and for more. Just be sure to only ever work with a renovation company that specialize in such projects, and who have plenty of experience.
