In recent decades, the markers of adulthood have shifted for young American men: they are almost twice as likely to be single, less likely to go to college and more likely to be unemployed. Most significantly for their parents, they are also less likely to have fled the nest, with the term trad son springing into social media lexicon in recent months.

Intergenerational living presents a scalable and emotionally sustainable alternative. This model represents a necessary evolution in housing: one that is inclusive, emotionally aware, and economically sound.

The 112㎡-house accommodates six people across three generations, designed to foster relationships between a younger couple, their child, and the grandparents.

Older adults are increasingly living in senior housing adjacent to college campuses, fostering interaction between demographics while providing new revenue streams for universities.
