Multigenerational home trends
BY CAROLINE WRIGHT
As thousands of fami- lies in Hawaii know, multigenerational
housing can greatly enhance the lives of all who live under the same roof.
That is especially true when the space under that roof has been designed with multiple nuclear families in mind. And for real success, understanding the house- hold members’ lifestyles is essential.
“Multigenerational hous- ing can be a brilliant solution for unexpected life challeng- es, like working from home, remote schooling and sup- porting family members in fragile health,” says Bonnie Oda, client care director of Graham Builders.
Additionally, says Oda, combining the resources of each family member is often the key to affordable home ownership.
“In many instances, grand- ma owns property, and her children and grandchildren have the earning potential to fund the project. Separately, each might not be able to achieve a custom home, but together, the vision of a fam- ily home is fully possible!”
FULL-SERVICE MULTIGENERATIONAL EXPERTISE
Homeowners rate their experience high with Gra- ham Builders, because this local design and build firm is full service. In addition to developing award-winning plans and beautifully craft- ed homes, the firm helps coordinate all the pieces that homeowners need for a successful project.
“We didn’t know any- thing about building a house — how do we design it, how the permitting pro- cess works, etc.,” recounts
a Manoa homeowner. “Gra- ham knew how to manage the whole project, from fi- nancing, design, permitting, demolition and to build in a way that helped us to feel we were taken care of. It was very comforting.”
PRIVACY AND INDEPENDENCE
Combining family units is tricky, and the importance of hiring a design and build company with experience in developing plans that offer privacy and indepen- dence can’t be overstated. The Graham Builders team thoughtfully collaborates with homeowners, and has designed scores of homes that allow families the space each requires.
The owner of a multigen- erational Honolulu home re- cently completed by Graham Builders can attest to this.
“Rebuilding was an op- portunity to start fresh, meet the needs of planning for aging and also the needs of a younger generation,” he says. “Graham Builders did an amazing job designing a space that included the vi- sions each of us had for our new home.”
