I gotta get one of these. I am moving to New Zealand !! dbb
New Zealand surf cabin gone chic.
I never thought of gabions as architectural elements of a dwelling. Cool!

http://www.lrs.co.za/architecture_master.htm I guess this is a lot more widespread than I thought!
Our GBI home, Molesworth's, is on the other side of GBI, completely self-sufficient, in a sheltered harbour - if you are down in NZ, it's a great place to hang out for a few days, ferry and services are nearby, private and lovely! Cheers Dwell readers
Batches? We don't need no stinking batches! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Interesting use of gregorian walls.
Great shack/house. Love it. Too bad so few pics.
I love it. Simple, chic, and functional.
I am thinking of buying a bach but to live in permanently until I can afford something else. But what is it like to live in a holiday park permanently where holiday season is probably overrun with activity? Is there someone out there that could fill me in? I am new to NZ so am still finding my way around. Its the spectacular view that has grabbed me!

Anyone can do this for a normal large house in NZ - we did, and we dont have to compromise on large appliances in the fairer parts of the year (August -> April)
