Most people choose which way to face their living area based on the view.

The sun and the view rarely point the same direction on a Coromandel section. One decision at the design stage and you live with it for 30 years.

Which would you sacrifice — the view or the winter sun?

6 things to get right when designing your coastal bach deck.

1. Width — a deck under 3 metres deep is uncomfortable. 3.5-4m feels generous.
2. Material — kwila and cedar hold up. Untreated pine doesn't survive a coastal environment.
3. Orientation relative to prevailing wind — the best view isn't always the most sheltered spot.
4. A cantilever or floating deck where the site allows — dramatically increases connection to the landscape.
5. Shade — fixed pergola, eave extension, or sail. Design it in, don't add it later.
6. Outdoor power — in the deck bench or pergola structure, weatherproof and planned.

The site visit matters more than the quote.

A quote is just numbers. A site visit is where you find out what you're actually dealing with.

If a builder quotes without seeing the site, ask why.

Your holiday home deserves the same attention as a permanent residence.

'It's just a bach' is how expensive remediation work starts years later.

5 questions to ask about window placement when designing your coastal bach.

1. Which rooms earn the full-height glass — and which ones don't?
2. Where does the prevailing wind come from? Cross-ventilation needs openings on both sides.
3. Where does the afternoon sun hit? Eave depth and louvres manage it.
4. Which rooms need privacy without losing light? Highlight windows and louvres.
5. Have you designed for the night view? Large unshaded glass at night reads as a black mirror.

5 things to think about when designing your bach laundry.

1. Conceal it — bifold doors or a cavity slider so it reads as a cupboard when closed.
2. Combined laundry and linen cupboard — one space, two functions.
3. A deep undermount sink for hand-washing wetsuits and beach gear.
4. Drying space — weatherproof outdoor line under the eaves or a ceiling-mounted rack inside.
5. Non-slip tile floor — it gets wet, every time.

Nobody talks about hallway width at the design stage.

Everyone notices it once they are living there, moving furniture, and passing each other with arms full.

How wide are your hallways — and did you wish you had gone wider?

Most people choose a builder based on price. Here's what they miss.

The cheapest quote rarely includes what makes a build run smoothly. Those things get added back in as variations and delays.

We're not the cheapest. We're the one where the number you sign is close to the number you pay.

We're always happy to answer questions so give us a ring.
