A progressive Café Restaurant complex constructed within the shell of a historically significant heritage building in the City of Fremantle. This project presented a number of challenges with respect to the strict heritage guidelines and the local opposition to any form of alteration to the original single storey building.
The building comprises of an intricate series of interconnecting dining spaces positioned at two floor levels; the ground floor cafe and the first floor mezzanine dining area. The clever use of materials juxtaposed within the historic building shell in contemporary cylindrical forms and textures enhances the sense of the place and underpins the rich, layered contemporary dining setting.
