NOMAD’S LAND
Project
‘Pic’s Not-a-house’
Architect
Julian Mitchell, Mitchell Stout Dodd
Location
Mārahau, Tasman Bay
When Pic Picot engaged architect Julian Mitchell to design something for his holiday section at Mārahau, he told him straight: he didn’t want a house. No house at all. Not an unassuming bach, or a discreet retreat. No bedrooms, even. “If we’d built a house, the first thing we were going to think was, ‘Oh, I used to like it when we had the caravans,’ you know?”
