Project: Intergenerational Living Development
PHC Status Report
Intergenerational Living Development
Intergenerational Living Development is a PHC-serviced project to investigate, develop and demonstrate a repeatable model for high-quality, affordable intergenerational housing.
The concept begins with the possibility of two or more related households living within a deliberately designed residential environment that provides both genuine independence and selected shared facilities. An initial architectural concept uses an H-shaped arrangement, with separate residential wings for different generations connected by shared living space and opening towards common outdoor facilities. This is an initial design hypothesis rather than a prescribed solution.
The wider project will examine how architecture, land use, shared infrastructure, financing, ownership, legal structures and community arrangements could combine to provide younger households with secure and attractive homes while enabling older generations to contribute capital and remain independent, involved and supported.
The intention is to develop more than a single family home. The project will investigate whether the principles can be turned into a repeatable development model capable of supporting individual family projects, multi-family communities and larger developments in the UK and internationally.
PHC Service will maintain the project evidence base, Concerns, Actions, decisions, specialist inputs, lessons learned and readiness information. Architects, planners, lawyers, financial advisers, developers, engineers and other disciplines will remain independent specialist services contributing to the project as required.
Project 519, Intergenerational Living Development, is exploring whether a practical, affordable and dignified intergenerational housing model can be developed. The concept seeks to support younger households who face barriers to secure housing while enabling older generations to use property, capital, experience or support capacity more effectively.
The project should not yet be treated as a settled housing development. It is a controlled feasibility proposition. Sponsorship, governance, site, funding, legal structure, tenure model, planning feasibility, cost baseline and operating model are not yet established and should remain explicit assumptions until evidenced.
No top risks defined in concerns list.
[{"risk":"Premature commitment to a design concept before need, affordability, planning and operating feasibility are tested","rating":"High","response":"Use option appraisal and evidence gates before selecting a preferred design."},{"risk":"No confirmed sponsor, governance route or delegated authority","rating":"High","response":"Confirm accountable sponsor or interim decision owner before material feasibility spend."},{"risk":"Affordability claims are made before costs, funding and household payment assumptions are evidenced","rating":"High","response":"Create affordability assumptions and sensitivity testing as an early feasibility deliverable."},{"risk":"Legal, ownership and tenure structures create unintended financial or family conflict","rating":"Medium","response":"Obtain early legal and tenure advice before presenting a resident proposition."},{"risk":"Stakeholder expectations rise faster than the project evidence base","rating":"Medium","response":"Use careful status language and record unresolved matters clearly in PHC."}]

Engagement is currently at an early framing level. The project has an emerging purpose and narrative, but formal stakeholder consultation is not yet established. Engagement should begin with structured listening: prospective younger households, older-generation participants, wider family interests, local authority contacts, advisers, neighbours and potential operating partners.
Any feedback should be converted into controlled actions, risks, assumptions or decision inputs. The project should avoid promotional language until affordability, governance, planning and operating feasibility are better evidenced.
