Couple build their own tiny home, plan to be debt-free by 25
Kia ora neighbours, a young West Auckland couple have fulfilled a dream they’ve had since high school by designing and building their own tiny home.
Eujenne Claxton and Laurin Buch, both 23, are about to move into their new home in Titirangi.
Claxton said what had really stood out to the couple about living in a tiny home was being able to live more sustainably and debt-free.
“In today’s housing market, it’s proving nearly impossible to afford a deposit for a home before the age of 30. This was an opportunity to afford a home before the age of 25 with no debt attached.”

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
