The holiday home is rethought with this stripped-back approach to contemporary bach comforts and conventions. An economy of programme and structure has provided a refreshing response that is more enticing than its more ambitious suburban neighbours. On approach, the street-side form is cut away to create a loggia that is both entry and living porch. This first shed form also accommodates utility space and simple bedrooms that share northern light through translucent gallery panels. A second shed form is devoted to double-height living space and a mezzanine retreat. The warmth of this social space is enhanced by the exposed timber floor structure and detailing.
