Two Homes in One - one of Jen's favourites!
“Where will your kids live when they’re adults?”
With Australia facing the triple whammy of climate, housing and cost of living crises, this is a question Jen’s constantly asking her friends in an attempt to engage people on this rapidly worsening issue.

In her latest Sanctuary magazine article we share THREE Light House examples where we have taken an existing older home and converted it into a home that can house two groups of people… while also upgrading the energy efficiency of the homes and making them all-electric! You can read the whole article HERE.
One of the homes (CHOOK HOUSE) belongs to Lish and has just featured in our latest FixitChicks reels on Instagram - check them our here and here. There will be several more videos to come as the renovation and extension of Lish’s home progresses so if you want to follow along, head to FixitChicks and follow us there..
