The Hickman whānau embraced intergenerational living by purchasing a two-flat home in Wellington. Bill, Jess, and Bill's mum Ginny pooled resources to find a property on Trade Me Property that suited their changing needs.

This arrangement provides Ginny with support after an illness, while new parents Bill and Jess have help with their baby, Robin. The setup offers mutual financial and personal benefits while still allowing for privacy in their separate flats.

Jess & Bill's kitchen includes innovative space saving features like the pot holder wall and ladder rungs to reach high cupboards

Jess is currently painting a large feature wall in Robin's bedroom
