AI summary
A Mt Eden couple built a 65sqm home, designed by Strachan Group Architects, to downsize for an active retirement. The clever design overcomes a small footprint and tricky site access, using a unique roofline and clerestory windows to maximize light and volume.
Smart features like suspended bay windows and a flexible second bedroom add usable area without increasing the official floor space. The owners loved the home so much they moved in, proving that downsizing can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle.
