Inter-Generational Homes: Addressing Diverse Needs Under One Roof

Subscriber Access

Designing a home is always a significant challenge. Technical and construction expertise must align with the expectations of its future resident, gently embracing their daily routine and tasks. Thus, mapping out the needs and rituals that will unfold within the house is fundamental for the success of the task. In the abundance of personalities, preferences, and quirks, residential architecture needs to mediate intentions and embrace diversities.

This challenge is even more complex when it comes to homes built to accommodate different generations under the same roof. Generational differences impact how individuals understand and interact with the world and the physical experience of space. In these cases, architecture seems to carry dual meanings – it must embrace the individualities of each member while prioritizing harmonious coexistence among all.
