Rangatahi-led design and development of a Tiny Whare
As part of our kaupapa rangatahi methodology, Generation Kāinga is considering how we disseminate research differently so that it is accessible and interesting for rangatahi and their whānau.
The design will consider off-grid, sustainable systems, eco-friendly solutions and integrating into the taiao landscape. The intent of this build responds to the regulatory changes that now enables up to 60m2 secondary dwelling without consent. The design and build will be documented and the plans freely available upon completion. – have taken this out to try shorten the piece but can put it back in because it is interesting and important. The images below are of a co-design wānanga that took place in December 2023 which was led by team leads Rau Hoskins, Maia Ratana and Hanna-Marie Monga. Key outcomes were the preference by rangatahi for off grid sustainable systems and for a space that could function as both accommodation for visiting researchers and overflow workspace.
