During the cold and gloomy winter months Torontonians spend much of their time indoors. Increasingly many households within the GTA cater to multiple generations living under one roof. These homes most likely were not designed with this variation in ages in mind. How can we as designers begin to think of simple and exciting ways to consider this multi-generational trend?
NEUF architect(e)s displays an architectural installation showcasing typical residential spaces in Toronto within their storefront window that directly faces St. Lawrence Market. This display showcases design interventions that Torontonians can do to improve their homes for multi-generational use. The display highlights how thoughtful design and biophilia can significantly enhance the living experience for all ages. Also, how small design choices, such as creating gentle space separation, spaces to play and rest, and being immersed in vegetation and sunlight, can cater to the diverse needs of family members, ensuring safety and comfort and striking a balance between togetherness and individuality. Ultimately, this window display encourages viewers to create an environment that nurtures relationships, supports varying lifestyles, and enhance the overall quality of life for everyone in their home.
