Mends Street, South Perth

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.
