AI summary
Following his father's passing, Ash Holwell uses his inherited property portfolio to build community rather than personal wealth. He rents commercial spaces in Whangārei to charities and founded two/fiftyseven, a climate-positive coworking space in Wellington.
His Eastbourne home is a co-living space for four couples and two children, converted to promote connection and efficiency. This arrangement offers shared parenting, resource sharing, and a strong support network, challenging conventional housing models in Aotearoa.
