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.

Maintaining the original brick and wrought iron gate, covered entry patio and parapet massing at the 1st floor, the addition strived to carry forward the Craftsman character by blurring the line between old and new through material choice, complex gable design, accent roofs and window treatment.

The existing garage and passage has been successfully converted into a family / multi-use room and home office with W.C. Bi folding doors allow the space to be opened up into the gardens. The garage door opening has been retained and adapted to form a feature brick bay window with window seat to the home office, creating a serene workspace.

Hochwertige HPL-Fassadenplatten, in diesem Fall von der Fa. Trespa, ermöglichen Farbergänzungen an den Außenflächen. Hier wird der Eingangsbereich betont. Zwei weitere Betonungen an diesem Einfamilienhaus erfolgen an der Gaube und am hinteren Erker. Fensterfarbton und Fugenfarbe sind auf die Farbgebung abgestimmt.

Ausbau und Dachgaube erhalten wie der Eingangsbereich die beigen HPL-Fassademnplatten und gliedern so die großen Klinkerflächen. Vorstehende Klinker schaffen im Giebelbereich durch das reliefartige Vorspringen zu jeder Tageszeit unterschiedliche Schattenspiele
