PAK SHAK

THE STORY

In the years I spent living in Fiji as an architect working on remote resorts, I was struck by how clumsy, time consuming and labour intensive the building process was.  I figured that there must be an easier method to build in more isolated locations in a faster, more efficient way with less impact on the environment and without sacrificing good design.

That’s why Pak Shak was conceived.

The inspiration for its design comes from two seemingly unlikely places – the Australian surf shack of the1970’s and a relatively unknown French designer from the mid 20^th century, Jean Prouvé, known for his demountable housing.

My goal became to combine the functional qualities of this master French craftsman, with the rawness and simplicity of the 1970’s surf shack.
