How ADUs can make multigen living more spacious, comfortable, and functional for all

Homes that can accommodate grandparents or adult children are becoming more and more popular as families realize the many benefits of multigenerational living. Plus, as more people work or learn from home, having a designated area with plenty of space has become a highly sought-after feature. 

Lifestyle changes spurred by the pandemic, a desire to spend more time with family, and financial considerations have led to a 15 percent increase in the sale of multigen homes, according to a report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Homes featuring multigen living spaces will likely remain in demand and hold their value for longer well into the future. 

Homes with attached ADUs

We offer several home plans featuring attached ADUs. These living spaces provide privacy, with a separate entrance off of the foyer, while also being conveniently accessible from the main house. Attached ADU suites have plenty of features to feel like home, including a kitchenette and dining space, closet, and en suite bathroom.

Tjh Adu Floorplan@2x
Our floorplan for an attached ADU features a large bedroom/living room, walk-in closet, full bath, and kitchenette.

Purpose-designed spaces

Everyone needs their own space from time to time, especially when multiple generations live under one roof. While shared spaces for gathering together are important, having a dedicated attached living space provides greater ease to multigen living. Our expert team of architects designed our multigen homes to give aging relatives, adult children, or out-of-town guests the space they need so that your home never feels overcrowded. 

Tjh Adu Kitchen
Multigen living has numerous benefits, including more time to dine and gather with your family.

Greater flexibility

Multigenerational living spaces bring greater functionality to your home. Attached ADUs are not only ideal for relatives living in the home, they also provide a separate space for working from home, attending school online, working out, or hosting the perfect movie night.
