Located in Victoria’s Daylesford Region, Australia, Two Halves House is a family home divided into two pavilions of the same size. Totaling 240m² (2,583ft²), the house was designed by Moloney Architects in 2017.
The upper level pavilion houses the sleeping areas, whilst the lower level houses the kitchen, meals, living spaces and garage. The two forms are offset and separated far enough so that they don’t overshadow.
The material palette is minimal and raw from the outside, but warm and refined on the inside. Naturally fire-resistant Blackbutt is used for the exterior cladding and windows, and light-toned Birch Ply is used to line the interior walls and ceilings. The raked ceiling and skylight encourages you to look up as well as out.
