PERISCOPE

A_HOUSE_OF_THE_FUTURE_2022-2023.MOV

Synopsis -

This creation explores and combines architecture with periscope structures as a gravity battery. By constructing below ground level, the Periscope House banishes the dreary basement ambiance, creating a gentle microclimate. The design features vertically moving mirrored walls at a perfect 45-degree angle, unveiling visual and spatial possibilities. Solar-powered servo engines raise the mirrors during the day, offering captivating views. This eco-conscious architectural creation merges artistry, sustainability, and metamorphosis, shaping a transformative world where physical and virtual realms converge. The Periscope House is crafted by architects Xaveer Claerhout, Barbara Van Biervliet and artist Adriaan Claerhout from Metamorphic Art Studio.

“ One thing is certain: by descending into the depths, this house elevates us. It invites us to look at the world differently. Through the periscope of our imagination, we can all become the architects of new worlds. Worlds where the inside and the outside are one. Worlds where living becomes an act of poetry. “
