- Shoal Bay by Parsonson ArchitectsIt's costly enough to take a break from the day-to-day grind alone, never mind with a spouse and five children. This is why the owners of the Shoal Bay bach commissioned <a href="http://www.p-a.co.nz/shoal%20bay%20house/shoal%20bay%20house.htm">Parsonson Architects</a> to design this sweet minimalist retreat. Familiar with the designer's own bach, which by definition is a modest holiday house with none of the convenient trappings associated with city homes, they knew they could expect something attractive and inviting that would also enhance their ultimate goal of soaking up New Zealand's beach life.1
