Bach Ranchouse (9.6m x 5.4m)

Model Code: RH9654

The Bach Ranchouse is a clean-lined, functional 2-bedroom-style layout with classic proportions and a pitched roof that gives it a timeless, familiar feel. With 51.84m² of floor space, this model is ideal for families, couples, or long-term tenants seeking a permanent, low-maintenance secondary dwelling.

The traditional gable roof (20° pitch) adds both visual charm and functional ceiling height, giving a real sense of openness. Whether you're adding this as a granny flat for extended whānau, a standalone rental, or a lifestyle retreat, the RH9654 offers simplicity, strength, and long-lasting value.

Suited to both urban and rural builds, it can be placed on a concrete slab or timber pile foundation and finished in your choice of weatherboard or fibre cement cladding.

Bach Vogue (7.2m x 4.2m)

Model Code: VG7242

The Bach Vogue is your go-to option for minimalist living with architectural style. Compact yet refined at 30.24m², this plan is perfect for a sleepout, studio, home office, or tiny rental unit — ideal where space is tight but good design still matters.

A flat mono-pitch roof gives it a sharp, modern silhouette, while the efficient interior footprint offers all the essentials: space for a bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom, and light-filled living zone. Optional decking expands the usable footprint and connects the indoors to the outdoors — a must-have for lifestyle blocks or Airbnb setups.

Whether placed in a suburban backyard or coastal getaway, the Vogue punches above its weight with thoughtful materials, low-maintenance design, and flexible layout potential.
