Building a prefabricated multi-generation house with a living space of 160 to 300 m²
The multi-generation house is a tried and tested living concept in which different generations of a family live together in one prefabricated house and support each other in everyday life. As a rule, each party lives in a separate residential unit. There may also be areas that can be used by all residents – for example, a shared living room, a utility and technical room or the garden. When planning such a house, it is particularly important to take into account the wishes and needs of each generation. With Hanse Haus, you are in good hands: Build a home for all generations with us, in which all residents feel completely at home.

Good reasons for building a multi-generational house
Multi-generational house advantages
One thing is clear: in an intergenerational home, you live close together, can be there for others with your skills and knowledge and provide support where you can. This results in many advantages:
Advantages at a glance
If several generations live under one roof, everyone can contribute their strengths to make everyday life easier for the other residents. While the grandparents help with childcare, for example, they themselves receive support with household chores or shopping.
Even though it may not always be easy or harmonious, the proximity to each other can strengthen family cohesion. The interaction between young and old can lead to a better understanding of each other.
The costs of building the house, the outdoor facilities and maintenance can be borne by several generations. And joint purchases such as home and heating technology, washing machines or garden tools also reduce the financial burden on the individual parties.
A multi-generational house makes it possible to create living space for at least two parties on a limited area. This is particularly advantageous where building land is scarce and expensive. Shared areas such as a shared utility room further reduce the built-up area.
When planning a multi-generational house, a special focus is placed on offering residents a high level of living comfort in every life situation. The result is a future-proof, sustainable home that can be used in the long term.

Your own house of generations
Making your home barrier-free or wheelchair-accessible is actually worthwhile for everyone. It allows older people or people with disabilities more mobility and independence and also creates additional living comfort for families with small children. Accessibility is therefore an important issue, especially when planning a home for several generations.
For the older generation, a single-storey, ground-floor, wheelchair-accessible flat on the ground floor is often a good option. In this way, the multi-generational house makes living in old age particularly pleasant.
A holistic, barrier-free design of the entire house ensures that all residents can move around the house comfortably, even with a wheelchair, walking frame or pushchair.
Multi-generational house design: Duo 211
A granny flat is a practical option for integrating a second residential unit into a single-family home - and turning it into a multi-generational house with parents, grandparents or grown-up children in no time at all. For houses on a slope, it makes sense to build a granny flat in the basement. A single-storey extension is particularly suitable for a barrier-free flat.
In our Duo 211 house design, the granny flat is built directly into the structure. This means that the residents live close to each other, while each party has a separate flat with its own entrance.
Multi-generational house design: multi-family house
Our multi-family house design with three residential units can be used particularly flexibly as a multi-generational house. The large, wheelchair-accessible flat on the upper floor offers the best conditions for comfortable living, even in old age. For example, if the parents move in here, the adult children can use the two lower flats. One of them is planned as a single or couple's flat, while the other is suitable for a small family with one child.
If the two barrier-free ground floor flats are not currently occupied by family members, they can also be rented out easily.

With the parents in the generation house
„The Lange family built a 58 m² granny flat for the client's parents in their Hanse Haus. The flat was planned and furnished entirely according to the parents' wishes. The ramps in front of the separate entrance doors provide barrier-free access to both flats.“
