Paralympian Dame Sophie Pascoe reveals her Christchurch home is a sanctuary focused on whānau and accessibility. Describing it as "cozy, welcoming, and open," the house is defined by an open-door policy for family and friends.
A single-storey layout was a non-negotiable for accessibility, while DIY projects like a family-built deck and a restored Trade Me bar cabinet make it personal. The home also integrates her husband's Fijian culture, with major indoor renovations planned for the future.
