A modern contemporary family bach maximising every millimetre of the compact 128m2 footprint, incorporating two bedrooms, a bunkroom, and multiple internal/ external living areas.

Two rectangular modules with a central linking snug, the bach can be used as a one-bedroom dwelling, or when fully utilised, a comfortable multiple-family holiday home.

The street side of the property is dominated by the rectangular forms of the charcoal masonry garage and vertical cedar weatherboard cladding of the bedroom/ bunkroom wing. A steel pergola connects the two forms and leads you through the cedar-clad entry tunnel. At night, a left positioned LED strip light accentuates the tunnel form and highlights the chosen materials and colours all-round.

The opposite western facing side of the property pulls its inspiration from the Ben Ohau mountain range beyond with the use of crisp-white horizontal weatherboards and a cedar/steel pergola running the length of the elevation. The outdoor entertaining areas extend out onto a flat irrigated lawn, ideal for the younger sporting entrepreneurs in the family.

There are plenty of unique areas throughout the property to relax, entertain, read a book, watch a movie, take in the surrounding mountain vistas, relax in a hot bath while gazing up at the clear night sky, jump on the trampoline or toast some marshmallows on the outside fire.

The interior features cedar timber areas (including the wall with hidden doors, the dining room bar joinery and the surface sliding snug door) which nicely complement the cedar exterior cladding and bring the outside in.
