About My Dream Home Mahi Tuatahi: Hoahoanga Roto Whare Nohonga

Kuputuhi Pukapuka: Ko Tōku Whare Moemoeā he whakahoutanga o tētahi whare kāri 80 mita tapawhā i Hangzhou mō tētahi whānau tokorima. He kūiti te whare taketake, he iti te whakamārama me te taiao rererangi, he raupapa kore whai hua me te noho takitahi kua whakaitihia. I tangohia ngā pakitara o roto kia hangaia ai he wāhi kāuta me te wāhi kai tuwhera, he ruma ako, e rua ngā ruma horoi me e toru ngā ruma moe. Ko ngā matapihi karaehe hiko-neke me ngā matapihi mai i te papa ki te tuanui e whakanui ake ana i te māramatanga o te rā me te hono i te taiwhanga ki te kāri. Ko ngā pakitara neke me ngā taonga whakaruruhau maha-take e whakarōpū ana i te wāhi, i te mea ko te urunga koretake-arai, ngā papa parenga-kore me ngā tokotoko āwhina e tautoko ana i ngā kainoho pakeke ake.
