SEMESTER 2 2012 2013958

central fremantle design studio

strategic analysis

- accept Fremantle is not the retail centre it used to be.

- promote the city as an urban design centre Perth = Fashion Capital of WA ... Fremantle = Design Capital of WA

- develop strata commercial to act as ‘ business incubators ’ for small design based firms like architects, graphic designers etc.

- develop residential as a basis for revitalisation Fremantle has attractive attributes for residential developments including historic precinct, retail, access to rail, marine recreational facilities, restaurants + cafes , markets, large amount of cultural social facilities.

- new developments should not compete with existing facilities but feed them by bringing in more people.

- use Johnson Court as a catalyst to kick start urban rejuvenation around it

strategic overview

- demolish Johnson Court apartments immediately as the building is inefficient, out dated, units are poorly planned, incorrect orientation, FFL is too low and its ugly.

- demolish buildings that are under developed, cannot be adapted, or are in a state of disrepair.

- consolidate parking, services + waste management. increase it in size to accommodate for expansion + new developments.

- do not disrupt retained premises + address rear facades.

- using modular unit types, create green cost + space efficient urban living solutions to attract young first home buyer professional types.

- reestablish High Street as the main axis of Fremantle and orientate to address Kings Square as a focal point

- create a large, central green space for the residents to promote community interaction. space needs to be simple, easy to maintain and private to guests and residents only

- develop edge conditions appropriate for each street facade to increase surface area and improve expose for ground floor tenants.
