Choosing a multigenerational home plan

There is no single layout that works for every multigenerational household. Some families may prefer a home with generous shared living spaces and additional bedrooms, while others may want more separation between different areas of the home.

When comparing multigenerational home plans in Queensland, consider how the bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas are positioned, as well as how the design works with your block and lifestyle. Depending on the home design, features such as multiple living zones, a ground-floor bedroom, additional bathrooms or flexible rooms may provide greater privacy and independence.

A well-planned multigenerational home should provide opportunities for family members to spend time together while also giving everyone space to enjoy privacy and independence.

Consider:

  • Bedrooms and bathrooms: Additional bedrooms, bathrooms or ensuites can make a larger household more practical.

  • Living areas: A second lounge, retreat, rumpus or other living zone can give different generations somewhere to relax separately.

  • Zoning: Consider how private areas are separated from busy communal spaces such as the kitchen, dining and main family room.

  • Ground-floor accommodation: A downstairs bedroom can provide additional flexibility for grandparents, guests or family members who prefer to avoid stairs.

  • Flexible spaces: A study, rumpus room or retreat may be able to serve different purposes as your family's needs change.

  • Indoor and outdoor living: Consider how living areas connect with outdoor spaces and whether the overall layout suits your Queensland lifestyle.

  • Your block: Consider the width, orientation, size and layout of your block when comparing home designs.

The best multigenerational home design will depend on your family, your preferred level of privacy and independence, and the characteristics of your block
