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.

Atriumhaus in Niedersachsen Die Bauherren wünschten ein sonnen- und lichtdurchflutetes Haus. Das Grundstück, lang, tief und auf der Südseite von einem Mehrfamilienhaus beschattet, schien auf den ersten Blick eher ungünstig. So kam es zur Idee eines Atriumhauses, das aufgrund seiner partiellen Einschnürung erlaubt, die Fassade im Bereich der Einschnürung weit Richtung Norden zu verschieben und somit im Süden möglichst viel Abstand vom verschattenden Nachbarhaus zu gewinnen. Das modern interpretierte Konzept des Atriumhauses gab die Möglichkeit, viel Tageslicht ins Innere zu holen und die Geländebedingungen optimal auszunutzen. Aus dem Grundkonzept des Atriumhauses entwickelte sich eine Dreiteilung der Außen- und Innenräume: neben dem zentralen Atrium gibt es nun einen straßenseitigen Eingangshof sowie den rückwärtigen Garten. Zur Straße hin befindet sich das dreistöckige Schlafhaus mit den Privatbereichen. Dahinter liegt der schmalere Küchentrakt. Der Küchenblock setzt sich außen im Innenhof fort, das Material läuft scheinbar durch das Glas hindurch. Durch die Einschnürung des Baukörpers an dieser Stelle wird erreicht, dass die Fassade weit nach Norden zurückspringt und nach Süden viel Platz für einen Terrassenhof entsteht. In einer Split-Level-Bauweise folgen jeweils durch ein halbes Geschoss getrennt das Familien-Rückzugszimmer, die Kinderebene und ganz oben das Elternschlafzimmer. Der an den Küchenbereich anschließende rechteckige Wohnbereich öffnet sich durch raumhohe Verglasungen in den rückwärtigen Garten. Die schwellenlose Übereckverglasung lässt jegliches Gefühl räumlicher Begrenzung verschwinden. Alles scheint ins Grüne zu fließen. Der Holzbodenbelag zieht sich bis auf die Terrasse, über die das Dach weit hinausragt. Dies sinnvolle Wohnkonzept unterstützt das harmonische Familienleben. Die gesamte Innengestaltung ist aufgrund des großen Bezugs zum Garten in natürlichen Materialien und Farbtönen gehalten. In die Architektur eingepasste Möbel wie die Garderobe am Eingang sorgen mit vielen Zusatzfunktionen für einen aufgeräumten Empfang. Entstanden ist eine Ruheoase mitten in der Stadt. Ungestört von den Nachbarn kann die Familie ihr Reich genießen.

Wide views to the lake abound in this Lake Minnetonka home. The open floor plan allows the space to flex from a small cozy gathering to a big holiday family group. Plus, it's easy to see when the boat is ready to leave the dock. Bon voyage! Photo by Jim Kruger, LandMark 2019
