Mahanga Bach, by Edwards White Architects was designed for a family of four that loves to camp. The yard can still be used for tenting while the off-grid bach is a gathering place for meals.
Not every architecture award-winner is a high-end, big-spend build. Sometimes, it’s the simplicity of a humble bach that catches the eye of awards judges. And so it is for the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay Awards announced on May 7, 2021. Housing Awards winners include the off-grid Mahanga Bach by Edwards White Architects. The bach was built to a low budget on a site where the family of four would formerly camp. And it has been designed so friends and family can still use the yard for tenting, while the building acts as a meeting place to share meals.

Joanna Wane pays tribute to the yellow and red army – and a new generation of rookies – who ll be making our beaches safer this summer. Surf patrols hadn t started for the season at Wainui Beach when word spread like wildfire late last year that Six60 were coming to town.
It was mid-November and the sea off Gisborne s sunshine coast was still witheringly cold, but a dozen volunteer lifeguards had been rustled up to keep an eye on the crowd. The day was a sizzler and around 7000 people arrived at the Wainui Surf Life Saving Club to watch the band play a free gig on the deck. Then everyone headed down for a swim after the show.
