Two Parts House | Sonelo Architects

Overlooking a park and within walking distance to the beach, Two Parts House is a permanent coastal home for a young family on the Victoria Peninsula and for a quarter of the year welcomes overseas families and close friends.

As the name suggests, the house is conceived in two parts. Each part is represented by a skillion volume. Set oblique to one another, the two parts creates a sheltered welcoming glazed entry loggia overlooking the park on one side and a wedge-shaped courtyard on the other seamlessly integrating the greeneries from the park and the house garden.

The main double storey volume caters for the everyday needs of the young family. Whilst the secondary single storey volume caters for retreat activities or visiting guest stay.

Two Parts House is more akin to a mountain retreat, part sunken, a sanctuary cocooned by the gardens and mature trees fore and beyond.
