A project in North Fremantle for a young family on a small block. A sewer mains pipe, a narrow street frontage, an apartment block to the north and a small budget largely drove the design outcome.

The result is a double storey structure carved out at ground level to provide clearance over the sewer, stretching around the western boundary at ground level to provide a galley kitchen with terrace over.

Unlined insulated wall panels, raw blockwork, IKEA joinery + off-the-shelf double-glazed windows, contribute to maintaining a modest budget.
