LIVING THE DREAM

It’s the great Kiwi dream – to build a home of your own, designed especially for you, exactly how you want it.

In this ambitious first-of-its-kind feature, we follow the story of a real-life home build. Along the way we’ll be documenting the project in a series of articles, backed up by stories and videos online at homestolove.co.nz.

If you’ve ever harboured a secret desire to build your own place, this landmark home project will inspire you to follow your dreams. With support from industry experts including Resene, Carpet Court and Haier, we’ll guide you every step of the way, from those early days of putting your vision down on paper, until that fabulous feeling when you finally move in.
