Description
The Pocket Houses address a key challenge in New Zealand housing: delivering quality architecture that's both accessible and affordable. Designed by Dorrington Atcheson Architects, these compact two-bedroom new build homes reimagine urban living with design integrity and cost-efficiency.
At just 70sqm, each home fits within the footprint of a typical double garage but feels open, light, and highly liveable. Ideal for first-home buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a smartly scaled home. The ground floor features open-plan living, kitchen, and dining areas with large sliders that open to private outdoor spaces. A built-in daybed doubles as guest accommodation, and laundry is tucked into a cupboard. Upstairs are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a compact bathroom, and a landing with a home office nook.
Built by Senior Construction, the Pocket Houses are replicable prototypes for compact, thoughtful living. Clad in vibrant orange roofing tiles, the homes are bold, low-maintenance, and memorable. Interiors include warm plywood walls, polished concrete floors, and colourful feature doors.
Positioned diagonally on a rear site in Otahuhu, the homes sit on individual Fee Simple titles with privacy and light carefully considered.
