PERISCOPE

The PERISCOPE Lookout aims to visually represent the form of a periscope while also incorporating its functional characteristics into the actual operation of the lookout. The core principle of periscope observation — hidden viewing through a lens — is reflected in the design, allowing visitors to see the beautiful panorama of downtown Bílina already while ascending the staircase. The lens also provides children with an unobstructed view through what would otherwise be a solid railing. The "hidden" aspect is emphasized through the use of material — brushed stainless steel. To a certain extent, the stainless steel sheet acts as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding environment and making the structure appear almost invisible from a distance.
