Warm winter sunshine fills the living spaces of this carefully organized addition to South Fremantle architecture. Nestled against a classic californian bungalow, playful brickwork animates the wall of a new Garage.

Daylight is filtered through ornately framed timber windows & doors, arranged with inspiration from the decoration on original verandah rails. Opening the elegant bi-folding doors creates an uninterrupted flow of spaces; linking courtyard, living and front yard areas of the house.

The original cottage has been lovingly restored to highlight its rich textures. Street life is connected with a reinstated west verandah.

About the
Professional

Steelehouse Architecture was formally established in 2010 evolving out of the union of Nathan Steele and Bindi House in the early 2000’s. Nathan’s dedication to quality, unique spatial compositions and lasting client relationships have seen the practice grow to produce a varied portfolio of rewarding projects.  

Steelehouse is small enough to remain responsive, highly engaged and attentive to detail. We maintain strong links with builders, landscapers, tradespeople and suppliers, which is essential to delivering successful results.

We specialise in new houses and renovations. We believe it is a great privilege to help our clients shape their living environments. 

We deliver more than shells of buildings – our team's design and delivery capabilities include architecture, interiors and gardens. 

For us, designing your home is about the long-term and the shorter term. Our architecture considers the bigger picture of longer term growth and change. 

The practice occupies the light-filled Leake Street corner of the Pakenham Street Art Studios in Fremantle. The practice has a subtle street presence in the heritage listed former storehouse emanating from two tall timber framed double hung windows that are always open to catch the breeze. The studio is the antithesis of most commercial office spaces and exposes the sensibilities that Nathan aspires to in architectural production.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
