Multigenerational House Plans for the Pacific Northwest
Enjoy the stories you’ll share together
These days, it’s common for multiple generations to live together under the same roof or on the same property. In fact, about 1 in 5 Americans today live in a multigenerational household. The most common examples include older generations living with a child or adult children returning to live with their parents.
Regardless of your circumstances, there are many reasons to live in a multigenerational house. Including the increased cost of living and childcare, the desire for older generations to maintain their independence as they age, the need for additional safety and security, and the desire to spend more time with family.
Whether you need an extra pair of helping hands around the house to care for kids or want to stop worrying about your parents living far away, multigenerational homes are designed for this exact purpose.
The key to making multigenerational households work is to have a floor plan that allows everyone to live together and apart. Building a multigenerational house plan on your land will give you and your extended family the extra space, privacy, independence, and versatility you need in your home. Keep reading to see the variety of multigenerational living solutions that HiLine Homes has to offer.
Features of Multigenerational Homes
Dual Primary Suites
A “primary suite” generally refers to a large bedroom with a dedicated en-suite bathroom. Historically, a home is built with one primary suite, so locating an existing home with two is very difficult. With the recent increased interest of multigenerational households, more floor plans are including two separate primary suites. The home plan is often designed with the primary suites at opposite ends of the home to provide additional dedicated living space and privacy.
Double Kitchens
If you have a large extended family living on the same property, you may want to look for a multigenerational house with two kitchens. Adding our 500 plan to any of our standard floor plans allows you to have one centrally located kitchen, as well as a second kitchen for extended family or long-term guests.
Kitchen Design
A well-designed kitchen is an important aspect to enjoy multigenerational living. Many plans have features to enhance meal prep while having space to interact with the family. Alternatively, you may want to have your dedicated kitchen. In this case, it may be beneficial to add a second living space.
A Separate Apartment or In-Law Suite
This is a versatile solution that works for a lot of families. If you live with your children and grandchildren, for example, you may have very different evening routines and bedtimes, necessitating separate living areas for added privacy and noise control. In-law suites are essentially small homes or apartments attached to a single-family home or built as standalone structures on the same property.
