Daily Life Anaylysis– Multigenerational Family

The social, dining, and private spaces flow to arrivals and departures. With large families, the dining and cooking areas are near the social area for a more holistic experience. The sleeping/waking space is nestled away at the edge, providing access to personal hygiene and preparation areas for every age category. The working space is located near to the dining and social areas so that families can observe their children while they work. Personal hygiene and getting ready for children, seniors, and adults are located near bedrooms; if a family is larger, the area’s size can be expanded. Relaxing and Entertaining area can be modified into a bedroom for large size families while also allowing circulation in the area.
