What is the Multi-Gen Accommodation trend?
Multi-Gen Accommodation: Architectural firms around the world are increasingly creating homes that accommodate multiple generations, with this being a magnified focus even in North America as multi-gen living rises for reasons such as immigration and high living costs for Millennials. This shift caters to the global nature of multi-gen living, with it now being perceived as not only traditional or a necessity, but a lifestyle that can be accommodated to a degree where it enhances the success of individuals and families as a whole.
