How can we plan for a growing or multi-generational South Auckland household?
Begin with the privacy, accessibility, bathroom, bedroom and shared-living needs of the actual household. That brief can then be tested against the current layout, available space and project budget.
Is an extension always the best way to gain space in South Auckland?
No. Replanning existing rooms may solve some needs with less work, while other homes require additional floor area. Compare both pathways before assuming the footprint must grow.
