Shoal Bay is a remote settlement on the rugged east coast of southern Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. Shoal Bay Bach is designed by Parsonson Architects to be part of the rugged rural setting…
Original Woolshed
Shoal Bay Bach is raised off the ground and sits beside the original woolshed, which has served the bay since the early 1900s.
Unpretentious Shelter
The bach is rugged yet welcoming and offers unpretentious shelter, it is the type of place where you kick off your shoes and don't need to worry whether you walk sand through the house.
Off-Set Pavilions
The bach is formed of two slightly off-set pavilions, one housing the bedrooms and the other the main living space. Decks are located at each end of the living pavilion allowing the sun to be followed throughout the day.
Sliding Screens
Sliding screens at the north-west end provide adjustable shelter for the different wind conditions, offer privacy from neighbouring campers and act as walls for outside sleeping.
