With ANZ, HOME New Zealand is exploring the ways we live now, under the theme of ‘Urban Communities’ – and how this trend allows us to live and build today.
Whether it’s in a home or part of a city, living these days is social and communal. For urbanites, as well as being able to achieve a spacious and light-filled kitchen, dining and outdoor area at home, they have different living spaces; the café, the gardens and the shops of their own urban precinct. Without being completely separated from the hustle and bustle of the city, these areas are like a home away from home. Take a look at these three precincts that do urban living well, and the places they go to eat, shop or play…
