You could fill an entire book just on the 'cottages' of New Zealand, known as a 'bach'. Try googling 'New Zealand bach'. The name comes from the history of the country's first European occupiers. The first settlements were usually founded for resource extraction ( mining, forestry) and were therefore occupied by men, who lived in tiny houses because building resources were scarce. These men were mostly bachelors, hence the buildings became known as 'baches'. The term was later applied to any beach house or holiday house and has stuck.

This is great... I wonder how many manpower is needed to build such cottage and what tools do they need to build such cottage. The design is very simple but I believe the cottage is very functional. Thank you for showing this I had fun going over it.
