With more than four million Australians currently living in multigenerational homes, it essentially means the household contains two or more generations under the one roof.
Benefits of multigenerational living comes financially (through shared mortgage, bills and maintenance costs) and in piece of mind, knowing your grandparents can be taken care of or look after young children in the household. There are various different structures to what a multigenerational family looks like, but the homes work from the same guiding principle, which is to create space and privacy for those living within it.
