    The architecture of intergenerational living is described in Come Together by gestalten
    Flexibility is at the heart of this easily adaptable, extended family home that values ecological, economic, and cultural sustainability. Multigenerational living is designed for change.
    Charles House, with its contrasting shapes, angles, textures, and materials, is a distinct piece of residential architecture. The multigenerational home was designed for longevity for a family of five, plus grandparents, that they could live in for at least 25 years.
    Due to the decreased mobility associated with age, the grand ­ mother’s living areas all needed to be on one level. A tiled pathway alongside the garden connects back to the main house. Find out more about Age inclusive design in Come Together by gestalten
    In Europe, intergenerational multifamily homes are creating a sense of community among generations. Come Together presents the most exciting projects of intergenerational living.

    For British Columbia, Canada-based Matthew Heinl, his wife Kaylin, and his parents, the decision to share a home together—along with two children, two dogs, two cats, and five chickens—was one they made together. By that point, Matthew’s recently retired mother Anne was commuting back and forth from the nearby town of Sidney every day to take care of her two grandchildren.
    Shared communal areas, such as the courtyards, playroom, and common house, enable socializing and free play, particularly among the younger members of this micro neighborhood.
    In the Melbourne suburb of North Fitzroy, a case of lucky timing allowed a family occupying a single-fronted terrace house to buy the property next door and renovate the two to build a truly unique home.

    Residents of multigenerational living configurations open up about what it’s like to live together in Come Together by gestalten.
    Charles House, with its contrasting shapes, angles, textures, and materials, is a distinct piece of residential architecture. The multigenerational home was designed for longevity for a family of five, plus grandparents, that they could live in for at least 25 years. The brief was to create a practical and low-maintenance house and garden with five sections, filled with natural light, multiple garden spaces, and ponds, bridges, and water features.

    Come Together

    The Architecture of Multigenerational Living

    Grand designs for grandparents, grandkids, and everybody in between.

    £35.00 Price incl. VAT

    Three, four, or sometimes more generations of the same family often opt to live together under one roof. The 20th-century emphasis on a single-family home for suburbanites or a swanky bachelor pad is falling short of modern needs, instead, we are seeing more tiers of the family unit preferring to live together.

    Come Together explores the why, what, where, and perhaps most importantly, the how, of homes that succeed to be liveable for multiple generations. With insight from inhabitants cohabiting in multi-generational homes, this book explores subjects such as the opportunity to care for one another, how to save on costs, and why this lifestyle can forge closer relationships. Featuring architecturally stunning designs from around the globe and voices of leading architects championing the benefits of this family-style living, Come Together points to the changing face of the family home.
