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.

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