Paralympian Dame Sophie Pascoe shares a look inside her Christchurch home, a "cozy, welcoming, and open" sanctuary defined by whānau. She and her husband Rob have filled it with love through DIY projects, like a deck built with family and a bar cabinet from Trade Me Marketplace.
The home thoughtfully blends her husband's Fijian culture with practical needs, such as a non-negotiable single-storey layout for accessibility. With outdoor areas complete, the family has "grand plans" for a full indoor renovation.
