How two Wellington couples built a house each on a difficult sloping site
These two Wellington couples decided to build two homes on a site where most would struggle to fit one.
AI summary
Two Wellington couples, including architects from Space Craft Architects, tackled the city's housing crisis by building two homes on a steep, undesirable Miramar site. They pooled resources to purchase the "marginal land" that others had overlooked.
The resulting homes are tall, three-story structures designed for the difficult topography. While sharing materials like macrocarpa, each has a unique internal layout focused on maximising small footprints. This innovative approach provided affordable, warm homes and fostered a close-knit community.
