The concept of the nuclear family has never really off that families of Chinese descent who often prefer to live together in a large, multi-generation family compound. In the particular case of this house, the three grown-up children have returned to live with their parents, with each of them now having a family consisting of no less than four members. The design must therefore provide separate and private living quarters much like a condominium, but with the addition that every room had to be tailored to the needs and demands of each individual member of the extended family. The charm of such a multi-family house is that it provides the extended family unit with a sense of belonging and cohesive identity, fostering strong family ties through the large communal spaces and shared resources, even as it respects all the different individuals contained within.
