I see a big difference (perhaps?) in a ‘family compound’ that involves multiple, nearby, individual homes and a big group of people under the same roof. Sharing the same house 24/7 can be challenging - I would think ‘close but separate’ could provide many of the same benefits (mutual assistance, friendly connection) while minimizing the downsides (lack of privacy/personal space, feeling too emeshed w/family, etc.)
