Where?

New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula on the North Island, home to dozens of excellent sand-bottomed set-ups, most notably the left-hand rivermouth Whangamata. And since it’s a shed on a sled, it enjoys a degree of mobility — although checking the next peak up the beach may be more trouble than it’s worth.

Whose?

No idea who lives in it, but it’s the creation of Crosson, Clarke, Carnachand Architects.

What?

The shed sits atop two thick wooden sleds, allowing it to be moved around the beach front — a response to the changing landscape in an area vulnerable to coastal erosion. It’s fairly small but makes excellent use of space and can apparently accommodate a family of five quite comfortably; if you include the rooftop terrace, which additionally catches rainwater for the gravity tanks behind, it has three floors in total. It’s won or been nominated for a shedload of architectural awards.
