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.

Objectifs : -> Créer un appartement indépendant de la maison principale -> Faciliter la mise en œuvre du projet : auto construction -> Créer un espace nuit et un espace de jour bien distincts en limitant les cloisons -> Aménager l’espace Nous avons débuté ce projet de rénovation de maison en 2021. Les propriétaires ont fait l’acquisition d’une grande maison de 240m2 dans les hauteurs de Chambéry, avec pour objectif de la rénover eux-même au cours des prochaines années. Pour vivre sur place en même temps que les travaux, ils ont souhaité commencer par rénover un appartement attenant à la maison. Nous avons dessiné un plan leur permettant de raccorder facilement une cuisine au réseau existant. Pour cela nous avons imaginé une estrade afin de faire passer les réseaux au dessus de la dalle. Sur l’estrade se trouve la chambre et la salle de bain. L’atout de cet appartement reste la véranda située dans la continuité du séjour, elle est pensée comme un jardin d’hiver. Elle apporte un espace de vie baigné de lumière en connexion directe avec la nature.
