New connected indoor and outdoor spaces showcase the warehouse origins of the home.

More demolition than addition. An existing home office and garage were removed to create a garden to the northern aspect of the house, a repurposed warehouse.  A new kitchen connected to this was installed with a highly eclectic collection of elements reflecting the client's love of kitsch design objects. While the revealed facade was redressed in industrial character.

“We really enjoyed working with Nathan. He is a lovely bloke, a very passionate architect with a very creative mind and great attention to detail. He does not force his views on clients but talks through things to make sure everyone is happy. We'd happily recommend him to anyone.”

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.
