Taieri Mouth Bach
By Mason & Wales Architects
"Perched on a sand dune thirty minutes from Dunedin, surrounded by DIY fishing shacks, this structure takes the kiwi bach to a new level. It’s simple gabled form and natural materials are honest, simple and robust – it’s rawness is it’s charm. Sustainability is unquestioned – there was no waste in the design, construction or build time. This bach is at once stimulating and restful. An uplifting living space – the least expensive property we viewed – but one of the most inspiring. Like a haiku!"
