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 home designed by Strachan Group Architects to maximize a small footprint. Architect Pat de Pont used clever design interpretations of the Auckland Unitary Plan to create a light-filled, spacious-feeling home.
Key features that expand the space include:
- A folded roof for increased volume and sun
- Suspended bay windows that add area without counting towards the floor limit
- A flexible second bedroom with a fold-down bed
The result is a highly functional home that encouraged the owners to downsize and embrace a simpler lifestyle.
