Ligar Bay Bach
By Young Architects
A modernist take on a jungle tree house.
Awards and
recognition
Nestled into the native bush, overlooking Ligar Bay in the Abel Tasman, the bach uses modernist forms to frame the breathtaking view.
Materials are natural and raw, textured timbers juxtaposed against smooth plaster and concrete.
Glazing sizes are maximised, with custom steel frames recessed into the building envelope.
Spaces within the holiday home are separated into pods, giving privacy when many people are using it, as well as seclusion and intimacy.
