Summary
Young adults are staying home longer—not out of choice, but necessity, as housing costs soar and homeownership becomes unattainable. In response, families are turning to modern, flat-pack backyard studios, making multi-generational living not just practical, but trendy. With new zoning laws allowing up to 70 sqm of additions without full permits, and big retailers jumping in to sell these “backyard studios,” the trend is exploding—especially in Auckland, where over 200 applications have already been filed. It’s not just about saving money; it’s about redefining family, where kids help parents and parents help kids, creating a new kind of homegrown support system.
