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.

Light hardwood floors flow from room to room on the first level. Stained wooden beams contrast beautifully with the crisp white tongue and groove ceiling. The natural light floods this spacious living room and flows into adjoining kitchen and office/homework nook. The massive brick fireplace adds rustic charm and warmth to the crisp interior colors.

The white brick and shiplap fireplace is the focal point of this space. Wrap around white oak box mantle ties in with the ceiling beams and live sawn oak floor. Sherwin Williams Drift of Mist is a soft contrast to the Pure white trim and fireplace.

The grouping of 4 mirrors on a large back wall help to open up the space with their reflection. A grey-blue open floor plan home that incorporates feminine touch to this transitional space. The kitchen and family room remodel transformed the home into a new, fresh space with a great backbone for clean lined furnishings and modern accessories.

This powder room is one of our favourite spaces in this home! It is fun, youthful, bright and colourful. The tile pattern layout is so stunning – it’s such a beautiful bathroom and definitely evoked a statement when you enter this space for the first time.
the Joy MZ tile collection from Euro Tile & Stone is a tribute to the classic print known as diamond plaid found in Scottish high-end fashion since the seventeenth century. The cheerful collection features distinct diamond motifs with the irregular texture of watercolour paper to emphasize the intensity and transparency of colour.
The powder room would be complete without pairing these colourful tiles with gold accents found in the cabinet handles, lavatory faucet, mini-pendant light, and bathroom accessories
