Located in Fremantle near the bustling harbour, the fitout for Be Fremantle’s new reception lobby needed to be both welcoming and stylish, as well as practical. The new space looked to celebrate its seaside location, and provide a warm welcome for arriving guests.

The space focused on carefully crafted junctions and treatment of materials, like the plywood, which created a ‘tide’ line through the tenancy. The plywood wall is a prominent feature creating a contour map of the Fremantle coastline.

The space remained a functioning lobby which required us to integrate the new fit-out with minimal disruption.
