AI summary
Two Wellington couples, including architects from Space Craft Architects, tackled the city's housing challenges by building two homes on a single, steep Miramar site. By purchasing undesirable "marginal land," they created an affordable path to homeownership.
The compact, three-story homes feature clever, space-saving designs with high volumes and multi-functional furniture. This innovative project demonstrates a creative solution to land scarcity, resulting in two high-quality homes and a supportive, close-knit community for the families involved.
