This 'Bach' - a New Zealand term for a small holiday shack - is built inside a shipping container. It's a self-contained, portable, and fun retreat for a family of four.

In accordance with a local planning law, Arrowtown House is a series of small buildings similar to the the surrounding historic sheds.

The owners of Matai House lived in this early 1900s home for several years before the alterations, so they knew what needed to change!

McKenzie House uses the same 4x3 metre grid of the surrounding Apple Orchard to ensure it feels harmonious and connected to its surrounds.

Shoal Bay Bach is an unpretentious home where you can kick off your shoes and not worry about walking sand through the house.

With panels of fibro coloured to match the surrounding area, this 'dune-hopper' home feels modern but relevant to its seaside locale…

With a fun colour scheme, humble materials and nooks to while away the day, Field Way Bach reminds us of back-to-basics beach holidays.

A warm new home for a young family wraps around a courtyard space to create a protected area for the kids to play and the family to enjoy the stunning ocean views.
