Looking for a home design that can keep the whole family under one roof? And by the whole family, we mean the in-laws that are moving to Perth. Or perhaps the grandparents who want to help with the kids. Or maybe it’s the kids who won’t be moving out any time soon.
Multigenerational home designs, also known as multi-gen or inter-gen homes, are the perfect solution for extended families who prefer to live together under one roof. Living in a multigenerational home means you get separate areas in the house so everyone still has privacy in their own space. And when you need to come together, you can do so quickly since multigenerational homes are designed in a way that access to each living quarter comes from inside the house compared to duplex houses or other dual key homes that are used by families living close to each other.
These types of living arrangements are becoming more popular in Perth, especially if you rely on family members for support. So we’ve created a range of multi-gen home designs to suit various types of families who want to settle together in Perth. These floor plans for multigenerational living can be customised to suit your needs and preferences and we can also find you a block of land that’s suitable to your requirements.
Take a look at the designs below and make sure you check out our FAQs about multi-gen homes. If you have any questions or want more info, fill out the enquiry below and one of Move Homes’ Property Specialists will reach out to you asap.
A multigenerational home allows for three generations of the same family living under one roof. It sounds like a lot, right? Not quite! Multi-gen homes are actually very beneficial for families that need to be closer to each other due to health or other reasons. A connected yet private living space for each generation can also help strengthen the bond within the family.
These are just some of Move Homes’ available floor plan designs for multigenerational houses. We’ve created these plans so you get the space (and privacy) you need. You can take these home designs as they are, or you can tweak them to suit your needs. We can also change what’s in the home, especially if you want to cater to people with mobility needs and other medical concerns.
Multi generational house plans take into consideration the privacy of each family member that’s why most designs for multigenerational family homes have double living rooms, kitchens and baths as well as multiple bedrooms. This type of floorplan is perfect especially if you want to care for your older family members that insist on living by themselves or children who want to practice self-reliance. This way, by living in their own quarters, they get their own privacy and enjoy their independence, yet at the same time, other family members can regularly check up on them and everyone can gather together whenever they want.
One of the reasons why families choose to build multi generational homes is because they want to be close to their family, especially their aged loved ones. In a multi gen home, it’ll be easier for family members to see each other, especially for them to check up on their grandparents or anyone needing medical assistance. A personalised home design of a multi gen home can also ensure that you accommodate the physical needs of your loved ones, especially those that require extra medical attention.
Even though multi-gen homes are still relatively new, we’ve been building them across Perth in suburbs like Dayton, Landsdale, and Meadow Springs to accommodate the growing need for multigen family communities. Check out some of these multigenerational houses designed and built by Move Homes. Each of these builds has the clients in mind, especially those who in their multi-gen family will occupy each living space in the house. If you want to see some of our builds, we have display homes in Perth available for viewing.
When building a new home, especially a big one that can house multiple generations, it is important to find the right block in the perfect suburb that can meet the needs of each family member. At Move Homes, we can help you do that! We can build on your chosen suburb and we can also provide your house and land packages for your new multi-gen home.

A multigenerational home is when you live with your parents or grandparents and other extended family members that are not in your immediate family.
There are a few factors that have seen more families embrace multigenerational living. Firstly, the cost of housing has increased so many young adults are staying at home longer to save for a deposit. The same goes for the older population who are living longer and don’t want to go to retirement homes. Secondly, more grandparents are being active in looking after the kids if both mum and dad have to work. Thirdly, multigenerational living is common in many cultures and is now making it’s way down under.
Move Homes builds multigenerational homes all over Perth. This can be in masterplanned suburbs like Baldivis and Dayton, or closer to Perth CBD.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite as easy. We need to make sure that the home fits on the block of land and meets the zoning requirements. We might also need to get approval, but we do this work on your behalf.
Absolutely! You can tweak all of our existing designs to suit your needs.
Multigen homes are great for people with disabilities who want to be close to others, but also want their own space. We can customise the design to suit, whether that’s changing the height of the oven and benchtop, or increasing the space in the bathroom.
Regardless of whether it’s one of our standard or custom designs, the cost of your home will depend on its size as well as the amenities and upgrades you want to have. For pricing enquiries, please contact us on (08) 9249 4455 or send us an email.

However, there are several financial grants and government schemes available for first time buyers and repeat home builders which you can be eligible for. For more information, get in touch with our team to see if you qualify for any of the grants.
