Corner house, designed and built within and over the remnants of the old building and on top of an original geomorphic limestone outcrop that characterizes Fremantle to provide a new home that looks much like it has always belonged.
The scale, materiality and unpretentious built form all speak to its context and a deep consideration of the site’s prospect and potential. On entering, you are simultaneously aware of the external, but protected by a welcoming courtyard space from which the internal layout of the home surrounds and encompasses it. There is a familiarity, warmth and earthiness about the materials used and the inwardness of the planning is happily contrasted with a dramatic view to the ocean from a corner picture window and an equally captivating rooftop “lantern” terrace perched above.
