ArchiPro Project Summary - Revitalization of Mends Street, South Perth: Transforming a fragmented building into a cohesive Spanish townscape with vibrant colors, new pergolas, intricate tile work, and wrought iron details, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality for diverse tenancies.

Title:: Mends Street, South Perth
Architect:: Western Architecture Studio
Category:: Commercial/; Hospitality
Photographers:: Dave Deves

The existing building on Mends Street contained 11 different tenancies offering a variety of services—but the building had been modified over its life and the design had become compromised.

This project was intended to bring the external areas a new cohesion and legibility. The existing form of the building was painted white and had a loose Spanish/Mexican theme. (terracotta tiles, stepped flat roof forms).

WAS saw this as an opportunity, and instead of fighting it: we doubled-down.

The resultant building reads as a Spanish townscape. It utilises colour to differentiate the forms and adds stylistic flourishes such as new pergolas, detailed tile work, and new wrought iron.

The building now reads as a unified assemblage of different forms and differentiated businesses.
