2016 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Tata Beach Family Bach
There is a generosity at play here: when on the beach the house signals to you, gesturing you to come and occupy, and a generous spatial relationship with the neighbours and the street has also been achieved. Extensive use of cedar, exposed macrocarpa trusses and plywood ceilings have helped in the crafting of this welcoming house. Informal spaces, including a new paved outdoor courtyard and external storage cupboard, exemplify the ideals of easy holiday living and demonstrate a clear understanding of beachside bach living. The brave and productive re-use of a utilitarian building has created a gathering space that lovingly expresses the idea of family holidays by the water.
