Robert M. Cain, ArchitectHolly Hill, a retirement home, whose owner's hobbies are gardening and restoration of classic cars, is nestled into the site contours to maximize views of the lake and minimize impact on the site.
Holly Hill is comprised of three wings joined by bridges: A wing facing a master garden to the east, another wing with workshop and a central activity, living, dining wing. Similar to a radiator the design increases the amount of exterior wall maximizing opportunities for natural ventilation during temperate months.
Familia RemodelingThis luxurious white modern house in Malibu is a true gem. The white concrete exterior, glass windows, and matching blue pool create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the Greek modern style adds a touch of elegance.
Arielle C. Schechter, AIAThe exterior of the Wolf-Huang residence is horizontal and linear so that most of the rooms can have a view of the water. The low slung lines of the house echo the horizontality of the lake.

Slater ArchitectsThe brief for this beachfront renovation was to use the bones and keep the theme of the existing weatherboard beach house and convert it into a modern light-filled coastal home that maximised the beach vistas.
Part of the brief was to add another story with a master bedroom, ensuite and a private balcony with views over the beach. The original cottage was located forward of the erosion line, so with the help of Northrop Engineers we cantilevered the bedroom over the coastal erosion line to create the new master bedroom with the view.
We added a new double garage and double-height entry foyer with a picture frame window, framing the feature pendant lighting and washing the entry with natural light. In the main living are we used large expanses of glass which captured the views, provided ventilation, and washed the space with natural light. Upstairs we added two bedrooms with raked ceilings, ensuites, walk-in-robes and private access to the outdoors.
On the southern side of the house we added a swimming pool which became a water feature off the living room, and on the beach side of we added an outdoor kitchen to update the outdoor entertaining space.
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.
