An inspiring collaboration between architects and a community initiative, My Whare studios are prefabricated housing units that will provide warmth and shelter for vulnerable young people who are transitioning out of care or homelessness. With warm timber floors and sturdy steel-framed walls and roofs, the units can be easily transported to the residential properties of host families where, within the lined walls of sustainable ply, young people can make a home for themselves. While the country grapples with the housing crisis, such interventions show the powerful role good architecture can play.
