AI summary
Brazilian sisters Duda and Bruna are international students creating their second home in a Wellington apartment. Following their mother's exchange student past, they now live together in a modern, well-insulated Newtown flat chosen for its convenience.
Their home style is simple, cosy, and cute, designed as a personal retreat from the world. By personalising their space, they've built a loving home and a new "family" of friends in Aotearoa, far from their family in Brazil.
