Shoal Bay Bach is a private residence located in Shoal Bay, New Zealand and designed by Parsonson Architects. A bach is a small holiday home or, like in this case, a beach home, and they’re an iconic part of the culture of New Zealand. The building is designed to be part of the rural setting, raised off the ground and sitting beside the original woolshed, which has served the bay since the early 1900?s. 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 about walking sand through the house.
