A whānau redevelop their traditional quarter acre home, creating a multi-generation family whare that accommodates four generations of the whānau under one roof.
The eight bedroom whare is home to five family units (19 whānau members) and is a model of how to collectively build intergenerational papakāinga.
Key to the papakāinga's development and success was the whānau's guiding long term vision for the future. This vision arose out of principles and values collectively identified and developed by the whānau.
