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.

This 1979 estate home in the country had an original brick wall (entire wall) surrounding a wood burning fireplace. Drywall was strapped to the brick and a portion of the brick wall left exposed and tiled with stone facade. The wiring for HDMI and Cable were added for modern AV.

Design Thoughts: "We created a series of zones: entry storage as you come in from the garage; a mail and desk zone integrated into their pantry area; a zone at the front of the living room for piano practice, toy storage, and homeschooling; and plenty of areas to spread out when space is needed. All of these things were in addition to the typical kitchen, living, and dining spaces." -- Cherie Miller, Designer The details: Walls - Sherwin Williams 7016 Mindful Gray Floors: 3 ½” solid natural oak Trim/Ceiling - Sherwin Williams 7005 Pure White Photo Credit: www.wildsky-creative.com

Welcome to the inviting living room, where a sleek ribbon fireplace serves as the focal point, complemented by a wall-mounted TV for entertainment. The layered brick veneer adds texture and charm, while a coffered ceiling adds architectural interest. Three oversized floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing the beauty of the dark gorgeous hardwood floors. An area rug anchors the seating area, while a lighting array creates a warm and welcoming ambiance.

We used side tables in place of a coffee table in this family room. Then, we kept our furnishings neutral and used accent pillows and throw blanket for a pop of color that we subtly mirrored in the area rug.

The brief for the living room included creating a space that is comfortable, modern and where the couple’s young children can play and make a mess. We selected a bright, vintage rug to anchor the space on top of which we added a myriad of seating opportunities that can move and morph into whatever is required for playing and entertaining.
