1:15 Designing homes with Māori and Pasifika families in mind

Architect Rau Hoskins knows a thing or two about building. He is a trustee of Te matapihi, which was set up to advocate for better  Māori  Housing, he has written a  Māori  housing-design guide, and he works with iwi and Kainga Ora on building and desiging homes.
 
He says while the focus has been on building more homes and increasing supply, more thought needs to go in to designing houses for Maori and Pasifika families.

Rau explains to Jesse what he's asking for.
