By Beck Building
This Kinloch bach (for a family with adult children and their own extended families) had to make the most of its beautiful bay and mountain views which are orientated to the south, as well as accommodate a large boat all whilst providing as much space for the family as the site restrictions would allow. NFA’s clever solution was to create a private courtyard enclosed on two sides with the ‘Z’ shaped house running around two sides. The house is split into two wings with an adjoining link. Public spaces are housed in the pavilion which has glazed walls to both the north and south, whilst the bedrooms, bunkroom and garage form the other wing. Views to the south can be enjoyed from the protection of the northern courtyard, and the courtyard is enjoyed as the family move throughout the house. Cedar screens with intertwined planting defines the pavilion as well as provides a shaded area and privacy.
This was a bach constrained by budget, and tight site limitations but with its oiled cedar, screening and grounding to the site through materiality and landscaping a sophisticated and carefully crafted bach has resulted.
