This multi-residential project introduces two firsts for Western Australia.

Project Details

The LandCorp 'Step Up' competition was won by Cast Studio, formerly David Barr Architects, through competition in 2017.

The scheme is a four-storey, modular design apartment building, featuring innovative approaches to construction and sustainability and a strong focus on flexibility and liveability. The project introduces two firsts for Western Australia – using a prefabricated ‘passive haus’ construction system, which will reduce build time and cost, and delivering the first apartment building in the State with an average9-star NatHERS rating.

Architecture & the human spirit

After ten years as David Barr Architects, today our team is known simply and collectively as Cast. Our culture is open, diverse and inclusive. We work together on architecturally designed homes defined by purpose and character.

Cast Studio designs buildings that shape lives for the better. We do this by celebrating the collective act of architecture. Cast is a catalyst for change, working in active partnership with clients, collaborators and communities.

We value a multitude of perspectives because we recognize that the spaces, we create serve a multitude of people. A shared architecture, for a common good.

Cast Studio is located in Fremantle, WA.

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.
