Bricks-and-mortar retail may have life left in it yet, despite many CBD-based organisations ending leases and vacancy rates increasing across the nation. And while warning of Australian ‘dead malls’ emerge, a Perth design firm has seen an opportunity to repurpose the upper levels of a retail property that has remained vacant for the last 35 years.
If you find yourself stopping at the traffic lights and mesmerised by the multicoloured led lit Polycarbonate lantern at the corner of Grindleford drive and Karrinyup road, you have reached the gateway of Balcatta, now, the new Roselea Shopping Centre designed by Hames Sharley.
Clean cut lines and a material palette that mimics traditional farmland are what make the new neighbourhood in Perth, WA. Consisting of a Woolworths as the main anchor and 6000sqm of retail and medical tenancies, the newly developed centre is a precinct that has left owners of the land, proud to keep for generations.
Hames Sharley is proud to have designed the first stage of the East Village Karrinyup residences for Blackburne. This important milestone starts to complete the picture of this $800 million mixed-use activity centre development with AMP.
The project will consist of 94 residences on the eastern edge of the new Karrinyup Shopping Centre, which will offer incredible views over Lake Gwelup, Perth city and Karrinyup Golf Course.
As the new workplace for the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and two divisions of the Department of Transport (METRONET and Westport), the One40 William St project by Hames Sharley serves as the largest 100% Activity Based Working environment for WA government.
Our client engaged us to design a three-storey residence on a 545 square metre block at Wyndham Harbour, one of the largest marinas on Port Phillip Bay. The third storey was necessary to capture harbour views and the project was given an allowable budget of $750,000.
The elevated 545 square metre block is in close proximity to the Wyndham Harbour Marina, just two blocks away, and had the clear potential for a house to be built that would enjoy magnificent harbour views. The site is an irregular shape, however, which meant we needed to maximise site coverage in order to allow for a larger habitable floor area within the home.
The result of the Australis Development at Rossmoyne Waters by Hames Sharley was an intelligently designed communal space that heavily focused on being legible and easy to navigate. The design resulted in a centrally focused spine of activity and green encouraging a connection of spaces, both internally and externally. Succinctly, the proposed development makes a positive contribution to the streetscape and amenity of the locality, through the high-quality architectural design as well as redeveloping a currently underutilised site in a manner consistent with the overarching state and local planning framework. This development was the first stage of a wider master-planned development of the senior housing site in Rossmoyne.
Knocklofty extension transforms a 1980s red brick veneer home into a modern, warehouse inspired family home.
The house sits on a steep site overlooking West Hobart and the River Derwent beyond.
To meet the clients brief the existing roof was removed, the building was simplified and a new level was added.
The clients commissioned local artist ‘Jamin’ to paint a contemporary street style artwork in the void which becomes a part of the building rather than an art piece on the wall.
Oye Mi Canto is an alterations and additions project on a terrace-house located in the leafy suburban streets of Newtown, nestled into a narrow site backing onto the Carriageworks cultural precinct. While retaining the heritage-significant street facing façade and front bedroom and extending the rear building line and introducing an internal courtyard, the house has been holistically transformed into three pavilions.
The Charles Darwin Centre is located at an important crossroads of the Darwin CBD. Its slender eastern prow faces the Mall, minimizing its presence on this low-rise, pedestrian-oriented area.
A new two-storey addition with significant alteration works were undertaken on an existing cream brick house in Rosanna.
The new additions take advantage of the sloped site by creating additional bedroom and living areas within a series of stepped cubed forms. The configuration of these intersecting forms and openings help encourage cross-flow ventilation throughout the home.
