With views over the Porirua Inlet, these homes, built specifically for Te Āhuru Mōwai, are designed to provide more than just shelter—they offer a sense of belonging, pride, and long-term stability for whānau in Titahi Bay. In partnership with the award-winning architects at First Light Studios, every aspect of these residences has been intentionally crafted. Moving away from "one-size-fits-all" housing, these homes feature well-considered layouts that prioritise natural flow and functional living. By focusing on high-quality design, the development ensures that social housing is indistinguishable from private developments, fostering a sense of dignity for every resident. Recognising the diverse needs of the community, the development offers a range of configurations to keep families together and supported. Ranging from thoughtfully-designed 2-bedroom units to an expansive 5-bedroom family home. Te Āhuru Mōwai is committed to providing homes that are as healthy as they are beautiful. These units meet Homestar certification standards, ensuring they are thermally efficient, built to last, and sustainable. Designed with a reduced environmental impact to protect the land for future generations. This development is a testament to the idea that everyone deserves a home that is well-designed and environmentally responsible. Photographer: David Hensel
