Multigenerational living is a growing trend in New Zealand, where families pool resources to buy a shared home. This is driven by financial pressures, cultural norms, and the desire for closer family support, offering benefits like reduced costs and stronger bonds.
Popular solutions include home and income properties, which offer flexibility with a separate minor dwelling. Key designs balance large communal areas with private spaces like separate wings or living rooms.
