AI summary
Ash Holwell leverages his inherited property portfolio to build community rather than personal wealth. In Whangārei, he rents commercial spaces to charities and social enterprises. In Wellington, he founded two/fiftyseven, a climate-positive coworking space.
Ash also lives in a communal home in Eastbourne, where a group of friends adapted a house for four couples. This co-living arrangement promotes carbon efficiency, shared parenting, and strong community support, challenging traditional housing norms in Aotearoa.
