Come Together: Architecture of Multigenerational Living, published by Gestalten, provides an interesting insight into an old, today less common form of communal living. The book showcases different multigenerational homes and studies the possibilities of modern architecture for creating harmonious, mutually beneficial ways of multigenerational living. The book was edited by Joann Plockova, a design journalist specialising in multigenerational housing, who writes for publications such as the New York Times, Monocle and Azure.

Three, four, or sometimes more generations of the same family often opt to live together under one roof. The 20th-century emphasis on a single-family home for suburbanites or a swanky bachelor pad is falling short of modern needs, instead, we are seeing more tiers of the family unit preferring to live together.
