90-96 George Street | East Fremantle, WA
George st is one of Perth’s most enjoyable suburban high streets with buildings from a variety of eras that often share a consistency across setbacks, character materials and awnings.
Through a process of study and survey the design team observed the typical widths of individual shopfronts and buildings ranging from 6-10m to George st. To respond to this on our 20 m site the built form is split into two contrasting portions of 10m in width creating the appearance of two buildings sharing datums and tying into their adjacent neighbours.
The strength of this device is heightened by the sharp contrast between solidity and transparency, patterning and colour.
We believe this approach has led to a responsible and worthy addition to the street.
