Winner of Australian House of the Year at the 2019 Houses Awards, its no surprise that Daylesford Longhouse is an endearing building. A boutique farm, garden kitchen, cooking school, reception venue and a home consolidated within a single 110 l/m metre shed, clad almost entirely in Wonderglas GC. Set minutes from the idyllic town of Daylesford in central Victoria, the elevated property looks out over vast plains and bush land across Daylesford, Hepburn Springs and Mt Franklin. Revitalising the pastoral shed of yesteryear, the industrial structure sits on minimal footings with a gravel floor. The Longhouse is built to passive house standards with very few heating and cooling inputs and provision for solar paneling and battery storage.
