Home away from home - Bachkit

The Bachkit is an innovative new twist on the classic kiwi holiday home, giving simple, low fuss and practical living without compromising on style. Bachkit's unique design in glass and aluminium combines the freedom of indoor-outdoor living with the confidence of security. The clever, flexible, lego-like design delivers the Bachkit to the building site in easily assembled components.

At the heart of the Bachkit design is simplicity - a floor extending into the deck, a floating roof with wide protective overhang, and a wraparound shell of aluminium ribbing. Sliding panels in both glass and louvred aluminium give maximum flexibility in opening up or closing in the Bachkit. Maintenance is hassle-free with Resene Zylone SpaceCote coated interior panels and a hose-down non-corrosive exterior.

All interior areas have been finished in new Resene Zylone SpaceCote, low sheen waterbased enamel, to give one consistent hardwearing finish on all substrates. The simplicity of the design is reinforced by the choice of colour - Bachkit White.
