Home Sweet Home...

Another finalist in the Top New Zealand Architectural Awards is this delightful little property just out of Waipu.
Every time I pass by, I have the fleeting urge to live there, to leave it exactly how it is but build another waterproof, warm dwelling inside the shell of this beautiful old dilapidated exterior.
There are so many of these gorgeous rustic reminders of our past that have withstood earthquakes, flooding, cyclones and too, many years of studied neglect...

  1. Just put a garage door on the back of the building and park your motor-home in side. You don't have to build anything in there, you already have a home that you can use inside one or more of those old places. Using your motor-home would keep from being tied to one place. . .
