2013 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
Taieri Mouth Bach
Perched on a sand dune thirty minutes from Dunedin and surrounded by D-I-Y fishing shacks, this structure takes the Kiwi bach to a new level. The building’s simple gabled form and natural materials are honest, straightforward and robust – the bach’s rawness is its charm. The sustainability of the project is unquestionable – there was no waste in design, construction or build time. The modest bach is at once stimulating and restful, uplifting and inspiring. If it were a poem, the building would be a haiku.
