Multi-Generational Living: How Today’s Housing Demand Is Shaping Home Design and Development
As Australia continues to experience increasing housing demand, more families are rethinking how they live - and who they live with. Multi-generational living is rapidly becoming a smart, future-focused solution, influencing the way custom homes and renovations are designed across Perth and beyond.

At Trio Homes, we are seeing a growing number of clients choosing to design homes that accommodate parents, grandparents, adult children, or extended family — without compromising comfort, privacy, or architectural integrity. We are also seeing a growing number of our clients sub-dividing their land and building additional housing for their family members on the exisiting property.
Why Multi-Generational Living Is Growing in Australia
With rising property prices, limited land availability, and increased construction costs, families are seeking smarter ways to maximise their investment. Building, subdividing or renovating a home to support multiple generations allows families to share resources while creating long-term value - Changing family dynamics, ageing parents, and adult children remaining at home longer have also contributed to this shift and a well-designed multi-generational custom home supports independence while maintaining strong family connection.

How Multi-Generational Living Is Influencing Home Design
Modern multi-generational homes are intentionally designed to balance privacy with shared living. Flexible floor plans, self-contained living zones, accessibility considerations, and multi-use spaces are now key design elements.
