The Hickman whānau embraced intergenerational living by purchasing a two-flat home together in Wellington. This allowed them to pool finances and provide mutual support after Bill's mum Ginny found her previous home too isolating.
Bill and Jess also needed to upsize for their new baby. After a challenging search, they found their ideal property on Trade Me Property, which offered two separate, high-quality living spaces. The arrangement provides a perfect balance of privacy and connection for the whole family.
Jess & Bill's kitchen includes innovative space saving features like the pot holder wall and ladder rungs to reach high cupboards
