PROJECTS

A 1920s house in Perth is perceptively reprogrammed to suit contemporary occupation, in the process exploring how private domestic space can converse with the street and the suburb.

Known for its unfussy hospitality, this beloved venue in south-west Perth has undergone a thoughtful and textural redesign by Rezen Studio that welcomes regulars and newcomers alike.

Delicate and inventive accretions to a Perth duplex encourage flexible occupation and sustain a multigenerational family that seeks both refuge and connection.

“Addition by subtraction” was the approach taken in the redesign of this Fremantle cottage, which pairs crisp interiors with light-filled courtyard gardens.

A passion for food, art and the Western Australian coast inspired the transformation of this 1960s house into a retreat that values history and the clever use of space.

Edged by swathes of native garden, this addition to a historic home in Perth brings to life a series of stories, instilled with childhood memories of the past and in the making.

A desire to connect – to community and the natural world – inspires this lyrical addition to an unassuming Perth worker’s cottage, resulting in sculptural spaces that seem to contract and expand.

This rear addition to a heritage cottage on a raised corner block in Fremantle sits in harmony with the existing structure and enhances its cherished “ramshackle” nature.
