Periscope House draws light into a young family’s home, adding thoughtful solutions and flexible spaces to 1950s Art Deco foundations. Our clients engaged us to undertake a considered extension to their character-rich home in Malvern East. They wanted to celebrate their home’s history while adapting it to the needs of their family, and future-proofing it for decades to come. The extension’s form meets with and continues the existing roofline, politely emerging at the rear of the house. The tones of the original white render and red brick are reflected in the extension, informing its white Colorbond exterior and selective pops of red throughout. Inside, the original home’s layout has been reimagined to better suit a growing family. Once closed-in formal dining and lounge rooms were converted into children’s bedrooms, supplementing the main bedroom and a versatile fourth room. Grouping these rooms together has created a subtle definition of zones: private spaces are nestled to the front, while the rear extension opens up to shared living areas. A tailored response to the site, the extension’s ground floor addresses the western back garden, and first floor (AKA the periscope) faces the northern sun. Sitting above the open plan living areas, the periscope is a mezzanine that nimbly sidesteps the harsh afternoon light synonymous with a western facing back yard. It features a solid wall to the west and a glass wall to the north, emulating the rotation of a periscope to draw gentle light into the extension. Beneath the mezzanine, the kitchen, dining, living and outdoor spaces effortlessly overlap. Also accessible via an informal back door for friends and family, this generous communal area provides our clients with the functionality, spatial cohesion and connection to the outdoors they were missing. Melding modern and heritage elements, Periscope House honours the history of our clients’ home while creating light-filled shared spaces – all through a periscopic lens that opens the home to the garden.

A window was removed and an 8' slider took it's place which allows light to flood the room. Painting the brick white updates the space and adds even more light.

This was a special project for the client who had just purchased this home and had to leave for a few weeks to go gather their belongings. We are extremely grateful for the TRUST and confidence they had in our company and we did not let them down! We started off removing ALL the popcorn ceiling and updating to a newer smooth style. At the same time, they sent us a photo of a wood accent beam they would like to have so we custom made one for them. We also did a Kitchen Cabinet makeover which consisted of White uppers and space gray bottoms. The client is going to install new hinges and door handles. AL-in-ALL, clients are home and thanked us for the constant communication and photos we sent on a daily basis to ensure their level of comfort. They were so happy when they returned and is now part of the KANG Family!
