Inside a 65 square metre home where space and light are in abundance
This couple wondered if they could live well on a 65 square metre footprint. As it turned out, they could.
AI summary
A Mt Eden couple built a 65sqm minor dwelling designed by Pat de Pont of Strachan Group Architects to embrace a simpler lifestyle. The design cleverly maximises space and light on a challenging site.
Key features include:
- A folded "cat slide" roof for volume and sun.
- Suspended bay windows with built-in furniture that don't count towards the floor area.
- A flexible second bedroom with a fold-down bed.
The couple found downsizing released them from "busyness," creating a responsible and fulfilling home.
