Fremantle Bar

A splash of atmospheric colour transforms a bar in Fremantle Australia.

This location in Fremantle Australia is not just a bar...it's a testament to creative vision and the balancing act of old and new. Space Agency Architects were tasked with developing a flexible venue that celebrated novelty while creating opportunities for surprise and delight. The result is a collection of eclectic, atmospheric rooms with their own personality that promises to never be boring.

The small bar displays a very honest approach to its built history and the treatment of its wall finishes. After gutting the space, the walls were finished with a minimal approach that balances the charm of its past life with a new layer of history. For instance, after removing the previous tiles the rough texture of the wall was simply painted over with Bauwerk limewash paint, allowing everybody to get a sense of the past.

The atmospheric colour palette was created together with Dimity Walker from Space Agency Architects and Bauwerk Colour.

“This thrifty small bar pairs the existing heritage fabric with colourful, textured insertions, channeling 70’s Australiana.”
