Inside a 65 square metre home where space and light are in abundance
This couple wondered if they could live well on a 65 square metre footprint. As it turned out, they could.
AI summary
A Mt Eden couple built a 65m² minor dwelling designed by Strachan Group Architects to embrace a simpler, downsized lifestyle. The home masterfully maximizes its small footprint, feeling spacious and light-filled.
Architect Pat de Pont used clever design to stretch the space:
- A "cat slide" roof adds volume and captures morning sun
- Suspended bay windows provide extra area without counting towards the floor limit
- A flexible second bedroom doubles as a home office
The couple loved it so much they moved in themselves.
