In responding to the brief and AMP Capital’s vision for Karrinyup, design firms Taylor Robinson Chaney Broderick and Hames Sharley, working together as joint venture design collective TRHS, have developed an overall design narrative for the redevelopment of Karrinyup Shopping Centre. This design narrative draws inspiration from the local context – primarily the natural coastal context, but also the surrounding bush and urban settings – to create a truly unique shopping and entertainment offer.
Our clients wanted a down-sizer home to accommodate, where they could age-in-place and occasionally accommodate their two adult children. This new house replaces a modest, single storey attached dwelling – one of a triplex built in the 1980s – and occupies a prominent position on a roundabout.
They asked for something ‘iconic’, so we created a building that makes a significant contribution to its immediate setting, recognising the site’s role as unofficial gateway to the local shopping precinct.
Nestled in a heritage protected inner-city suburb of Melbourne this is a home with a sense of discovery. Designing a family home can be a complex venture: a house should be functional, environmentally sensitive, affordable and a good fit into the neighbourhood. A home should provide shelter with a sense of space that is your own; it should be light filled and warm. This determines siting, layout, room proportions and the articulation of the building fabric through openings, materials and details. This is an extension at the back of an Edwardian weatherboard house in a residential area with an historic but diverse building stock. The built neighbourhood is dense, fragmented and eclectic, providing starting point and inspiration for our design. We opted to stretch the building over the entire length of the site, rotated it 45 degrees and pulled it apart. A somewhat unexpected move, this generated an interesting sequence of interconnected spaces and an experience of gradual revelation as you move through the house.
The East Fremantle House is a contextually responsive addition to a heritage cottage in suburban Perth.
The most important part of this house is the space that is not built – specifically, a large northern void – a space for sun, light, sky, sound, and breeze to inhabit. The house then traces this edge, creating rooms with immediate connection to these elemental conditions.
Data centres represent a very utilitarian aspect of the built environment, and yet they compose a particular kind of infrastructure within contemporary society, one where form must follow function.
Hames Sharley was selected as a partner, supporting NEXTDC in the successful delivery of Perth’s first Tier IV data centre (P2), just one of the new developments for the data centre operator across the country.
Sunshine Beach House is a contemporary home inspired by the sun, surf, sand and waves.
The house has been designed for a young family of surfers with an active beach lifestyle. The ground floor kitchen and living areas open onto the garden and pool. The family can move seamlessly from house to garden, pool to beach, and back again. Bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the more private upper level.

240 St Georges Terrace is a premium grade office building at the entrance to the core of Perth’s CBD – the corner of the Terrace and Milligan Street. A prime asset, 240 St Georges Terrace has the potential to strengthen its position as one of the most desirable leasing destinations, both nationally and internationally. Hames Sharley was commissioned to provide interior design and architecture services to 240 St Georges Terrace.
