What is a multigenerational home?
A multigenerational home is designed for more than one generation of a family to live together comfortably, such as grandparents, parents and children under one roof. In practice it can take a few forms, from a larger home with a spare bedroom and bathroom, to a dual master home with two master suites, to a design with a self-contained ground-floor suite for extended family.
How are Glenvill homes designed for multigenerational living?
Our multigenerational designs balance shared and private spaces. That often means at least one additional master suite or a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom for grandparents or adult children, more than one living area so people can gather or retreat and flexible rooms that can serve as a study or quiet space. Our team can help match a design to the way your family lives.
Can a multigenerational home suit ageing parents?
Yes, a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, step-free access and generous, easy-to-move-through spaces all help a home suit ageing parents and make daily life easier as needs change. Designing these features in from the start means the home can support your family for longer, without major changes later.
How much does it cost to build a multigenerational home?
Home size, whether the design is single or double storey, the level of finish and inclusions you choose and the conditions of your site all influence the final figure, which is why a headline price rarely tells the full story. Bringing family together under one roof can also share the cost of a single home rather than running two. Our team walks you through what makes up your build price and what to plan for beyond it, then prepares a tailored proposal for your design and your block, so you can move forward with confidence.
Can I build a multigenerational home as a knockdown rebuild?
Yes, a multigenerational home can be built as a knockdown rebuild in an established Melbourne suburb, which suits families who want to bring several generations together in a neighbourhood they already know and love. Our team manages the planning and site checks, so the process stays clear from demolition through to handover.
