Mihaly SlocombePeriscope 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.

Anna von Mangoldt FarbenThonga gehört zu Anna von Mangoldts beliebtesten Grautönen, da diese Farbe durch ihren starken Umbra- und Ockeranteil immer warm wirkt und sich gleichzeitig deutlich von reinem Weiß unterscheidet. Thonga ist ein neutraler, dennoch präsenter Hintergrund für Möbel und Kunstwerke. Sowohl in Land- als auch in Stadthäusern durchweg beliebt.
Partner und Partner ArchitektenDas steile, schmale Hanggrundstück besticht durch sein Panorama und ergibt durch die gezielte Positionierung und reduziert gewählter ökologische Materialwahl ein stimmiges Konzept für Wohnen im Schwarzwald.
Das Wohnhaus bietet unterschiedliche Arten von Aufenthaltsräumen. Im Erdgeschoss gibt es den offene Wohn- Ess- & Kochbereich mit einem kleinen überdachten Balkon, welcher dem Garten zugewandt ist. Die Galerie im Obergeschoss ist als Leseplatz vorgesehen mit niedriger Brüstung zum Erdgeschoss und einer Fensteröffnung in Richtung Westen. Im Untergeschoss befindet sich neben dem Schlafzimmer noch ein weiterer Raum, der als Studio und Gästezimmer dient mit direktem Ausgang zur Terrasse. Als Nebenräume gibt es zu Technik- und Lagerräumen noch zwei Bäder.
Natürliche, echte und ökologische Materialien sind ein weiteres essentielles Merkmal, die den Entwurf stärken. Beginnend bei der verkohlten Holzfassade, die eine fast vergessene Technik der Holzkonservierung wiederaufleben lässt.
Die Außenwände der Erd- & Obergeschosse sind mit Lehmplatten und Lehmputz verkleidet und wirken sich zusammen mit den Massivholzwänden positiv auf das gute Innenraumklima aus.
Eine Photovoltaik Anlage auf dem Dach ergänzt das nachhaltige Konzept des Gebäudes und speist Energie für die Luft-Wasser- Wärmepumpe und später das Elektroauto in der Garage ein.
