How Kiwi Live: Andie & Atom

Andie & Atom found their perfect Newtown kāinga after leaving a small Wellington apartment. They first rented a downstairs flat before moving "like a hermit crab" into the larger upstairs unit when it became available.

Their home reflects a "folky, earthy" style, filled with plants and unique finds from op-shops and Trade Aid. They embrace DIY, giving old furniture new life. The couple loves their vibrant community, enjoying the local markets and friendly neighbourhood atmosphere.
