Each entry begins with a statement about the strategy the owner used to achieve a home of their own.The houses range in size from 100 square metres right down to a very cosy 34 square metres!Beautifully photographed, and including plans and costs, the houses presented are in Puhoi, west and north Auckland, Raglan, Tamahere, Taupiri, Whanganui, New Plymouth, Wellington and Christchurch.
