Indulgence
By cladding a masonry home with board and batten, Nautica Homes has re-created the simple appearance of a bach
The bach is an integral part of New Zealand's cultural landscape, and there's no reason why even new beach houses should not draw on some of the features of the traditional holiday home.
The Omaha beach house shown here, built by Nautica Homes, incorporates the strength and permanence of solid masonry, which has been clad with board and batten. An overhanging corrugated roof is matched with a large deck, offering shade in the summer and protection in the winter. Other features include indoor/outdoor flow, coloured concrete flooring, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and solid plastered interior walls, so this bach will be comfortable in all weathers.
In this home, Nautica Homes has combined its award-winning masonry construction with the services from Masonry Design Solutions to satisfy the client's needs.
Nautica Homes' successful formula has been recognised nationally with two gold reserve awards in the 2007 Registered Master Builders' House of the Year competition.
