Auckland couple build their own tiny home

A young Auckland couple have fulfilled a dream they’ve had since high school, Stuff reveals, by designing and building their own tiny home. Eujenne Claxton and Laurin Buch, both 23, are about to move into their new home in West Auckland. “In today’s housing market, it’s proving nearly impossible to afford a deposit for a home before the age of 30,” said Claxton. “This was an opportunity to afford a home before the age of 25. Living in a small space isn’t for everyone, but we love it and as a young couple it’s going to help reduce our expenses and [let us] live debt-free.”
