Dr Bev James of Public Policy & Research Ltd prepared the report “Shine the spotlight on accessibility: Accessible-design housing for the ageing population”, for the Office for Seniors in August 2025. It sits within the Functional, Accessible, Affordable, Buildable (FAAB) small homes research programme, funded through the Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities National Science Challenge. The report captures the voices of older New Zealanders and people with disabilities, asking them directly what they need from their homes to age well. Thirty-four participants joined workshops, completed questionnaires, and took part in interviews. They critiqued five accessible small-home plans, highlighting what worked—such as flexible spaces, safe layouts, good storage, and private outdoor areas—and what failed, including poor lighting, limited storage, and impractical room designs.
Note that this is a companion to the report “Improving Housing Accessibility to Meet the Needs of an Ageing Population: A Rapid Review of Literature. Report for the Ageing Well National Science Challenge, University of Otago Dunedin. This is available at on the Functional, Accessible, Affordable, Buildable Small Homes website
