In Wellington, he founded two/fiftyseven, a climate-positive coworking space supporting impactful groups. Ash also lives in a unique Eastbourne co-living home, adapted for four couples and their children. This model promotes carbon efficiency, shared parenting, and a strong community support network, challenging traditional housing norms in Aotearoa.
