Multi-Generational Collection
Multi-generational house plans are thoughtfully designed to accommodate extended family living while maintaining privacy and independence for all residents. These versatile homes typically feature 2,500 to 5,000+ square feet with separate living spaces, multiple primary bedroom suites, and shared common areas that foster family connection across generations.
Dating back to early immigrant communities, multi-generational living has deep cultural roots across many societies. Today's designs blend this traditional family-centered approach with modern layouts that provide autonomy through features like separate entrances, private kitchenettes, and sound-buffered walls between living spaces.
Essential elements of multi-generational floor plans include ground-floor bedroom suites for aging parents, separate living areas or in-law apartments, multiple laundry facilities, and expanded kitchen spaces that accommodate shared meal preparation. Many designs incorporate universal design elements like zero-entry showers, wider hallways, and accessible doorways to support aging in place.
Contemporary multi-generational homes embrace open-concept main living areas while carving out private retreats for each generation. Popular features include dual primary suites, separate HVAC zones, multi-car garages, and flexible spaces that can adapt to changing family needs. Modern plans often include dedicated home offices, homework stations, and technology-ready spaces to support remote work and learning.
These homes excel at maximizing shared resources while reducing housing costs across generations. Families benefit from built-in childcare support, shared maintenance responsibilities, and the security of having loved ones nearby. The flexible design allows for rental income potential through accessory dwelling units while maintaining privacy between spaces.
Beyond practical considerations, multi-generational homes create opportunities for daily interaction between grandparents, parents, and children, fostering stronger family bonds and allowing elderly family members to maintain independence longer. Smart home technology, energy-efficient systems, and luxury touches like outdoor living spaces and spa-like bathrooms bring modern comfort to this time-tested living arrangement.

More Information
All of our floor plans are designed in-house and come with various options to make your dream home custom to you.
House Plan Modifications
Since we design all of our plans, modifying a plan to fit your need could not be easier. Click on the plan, then under the image, you'll find a button to get a 100% free quote on all plan alteration requests. Our plans are all available with a variety of stock customization options.
Exterior Wall Construction Choices
Most of our stock plans come as 2x4 exterior wall construction by default. We do provide options to change the exterior wall type. Those options include 2x6 exterior walls, Post Frame Construction, CMU Block Construction, etc.
Foundation Types
When de signing our house plans, a default foundation is set for a given plan. If possible, we include options to change the foundation type to better match your construction needs. For instance, if the default foundation is an unfinished basement, you'll have the option to change the foundation type to a walkout foundation, crawlspace, or slab foundation.
Please note: Some of our plans are designed with special foundation needs, such as post and pier for waterfront properties. These plans may not allow an option to choose another foundation type. If you find yourself in need of an alternate foundation and aren't given the choice, please fill out the alteration request on the plan page.
Right Reading Reverse
One of our more popular options is reversing the plan. Ordering the reverse option will not only flip the plan on the sets for you, it will also correct the text to make the plan read correctly while reversed.
CAD Files
All of our plans are offered as digital PDF downloads. If you want to make changes to the plan yourself, there is an add-on option that will give you the CAD files. Our CAD files are exported in AutoCAD format. You must have software capable of opening CAD files to use them. This option is great if you are in the business of home building and need to make slight changes to the plans per lot.
Cost to Build Report
All of our house plans come with a 100% free cost-to-build report. Just find the orange section on the plan page, type in your zip code, and choose your finish quality level. Note that this tool is for estimation purposes only and should not be used in any other way.
Garage Choices
We have multiple options for any desired garage location or type. We offer plans with detached garages, courtyard garages, side-load garages, front load, and rear load garages.
License Types
We offer 2 types of licenses for your house plan. A single-use license means that the plan can be built only once by the person who purchases the plan. An unlimited-build license is meant for pro builders that are planning to build the plan multiple times.
