Tucker Beach House.

This is a home that combines the simple farm structure of the Peregrine Farm shed in Gibson Valley, with the ease and informality of the Blue door cafe in Arrowtown. The owners wanted a building that was not conscious of itself, that appeared to be thrown up with whatever was at hand. There is no gib board through the entire house. The walls are stone or band-sawn cedar, the ceiling is corrugated iron, a floor concrete, with beech upstairs. Well insulated, the walls are 800mm thick and constructed with stone to the exterior, insulation, concrete block and stone to the interior.
