A beautiful movement is taking root in Singapore – the rise of modern multigenerational homes. As families grow and evolve, the desire to share a home that caters to the needs of multiple generations has become increasingly important.

Brand New Land, a premier landed developer in Singapore, recognises this shift and is dedicated to crafting landed houses that foster togetherness while respecting individual space and privacy. Read on to find out some of the ways our new house builds incorporate family-centric living to help foster a household that can evolve and adapt fluidly over time.

Accommodating Multigenerational Families

What is multigenerational housing? It’s more than just a trend; it’s a reflection of the deep-rooted values of family and togetherness that many Singaporeans hold dear. Living under one roof allows families to share experiences, create lasting memories, and provide mutual support. With the rising costs of childcare, education, and other child-rearing necessities in Singapore, it’s also one of the ways younger generations can access key support and resources when starting a family.

However, it also presents unique challenges. Balancing the needs of different generations, from young children to ageing parents, requires thoughtful design and careful planning. A well-designed multigenerational home should address these challenges, creating a harmonious living environment where everyone feels comfortable and connected.

Design Features for Family Bonding

At Brand New Land, we believe that a home should foster natural opportunities for family bonding and interaction. As such, our multigenerational housing designs incorporate features such as:

• Open-Concept Living Areas: Spacious living rooms and kitchens that flow seamlessly into one another provide the perfect setting for family gatherings and shared meals. Open layouts not only encourage interaction but create a sense of togetherness where everyone feels included and connected.
• Large Dining Spaces: Ample dining areas accommodate large family meals and celebrations, fostering a sense of togetherness and camaraderie. These spaces invite everyone to come together and share their day’s events, strengthening the bonds between generations.
• Shared Outdoor Spaces: Extend the living space outdoors with lush gardens, inviting patios, and tranquil courtyards. These private oases provide a natural extension of the home, where families can relax, play, and enjoy quality time together.

Providing Privacy for Each Generation

While shared spaces are essential for fostering family bonds, it’s equally important to ensure that each generation has their own private sanctuary within the home. Brand New Land’s multigenerational homes are designed with this in mind, through features such as:

• Separate Living Quarters: We offer the option of separate living quarters, complete with bedrooms, bathrooms, and even kitchenettes, allowing family members to maintain their independence and personalise their space. This setup is particularly beneficial for elderly parents or adult children, who may desire a degree of autonomy while still enjoying the benefits of living close to their loved ones.
• Ensuite Bedrooms and Private Bathrooms: Each bedroom in our multigenerational homes comes with its own ensuite bathroom, providing a personal oasis for rest and rejuvenation. This thoughtful feature ensures that everyone has their own space to unwind and recharge, promoting everyone’s mental health and well-being.
• Dedicated Spaces for Relaxation: Quiet nooks, reading corners, or home offices offer spaces for individual pursuits, meditation, and relaxation. By providing these personal retreats, we ensure that every family member has a place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and recharge their batteries.

Flexible and Adaptable Spaces

Families evolve over time, and so should their homes. Brand New Land’s multigenerational house designs incorporate flexible and adaptable spaces that can be easily modified to meet changing needs, in ways such as:

• Multi-Functional Rooms: We incorporate rooms that can serve multiple purposes, such as guest rooms that double as home offices or hobby spaces that can be easily converted into additional bedrooms. This versatility ensures your home remains a comfortable and functional space for years to come.
• Accessible Features: Features like residential lifts, ground floor rooms, ramps and wider doorways ensure that the home is safe and accessible for elderly or disabled family members. This consideration ensures that everyone can fully enjoy their living space and participate in family activities regardless of their age or ability.
