Exploring immediate connection – Fremantle

The East Fremantle House is a contextually responsive addition to a heritage-cottage in suburban Perth. The most important part of this house is the space that is not built - specifically, a large northern void - a space for sun, light, sky, sound, and breeze to inhabit.
