Is it possible for people of three generations to live with each other in one residence while without sacrificing their personal needs? This was a question I tackled in this assignment, which was one of the most personal to me. I have been living next to my grandmother my entire life. The last 10 years, she has not been mobile, and my brother and I have been helping her around. When I was asked to design a house for three generations under one roof, I took my own experience under consideration. 

Since my grandmother is not mobile anymore, she can only do things while sitting in place. She can watch television, read, or just watch the people on our street passing her house. With this in mind, I started designing the three-generation house. The concept was to link the outside space and the interior rooms with light. Light means transparency and sight. The different personal bedrooms are centered around a void, and the void has a link with the communal living spaces of the house. These links were translated into windows that connect the rooms and unite the people of the house.
