END FREMANTLE
Located to the North-East corner of the Fremantle West End, a highly historically and culturally significant urban precinct in Perth, and Australia. Market Street features some of the most evident examples of Federation Free Classical architecture from the early decades of the 20th century, produced from the Gold boom. 29-33 Market Street is an important building in Market Street that contributes heavily to the rich townscape that can be seen.

The building is a fine example of a Federation Free Classical style building, with elaborate stucco decoration above the ground floor level, that makes a significant contribution to the streetscape. Two storey highly decorative, rendered and truncated corner building with a zero setback from the pavement. The building has a bracketed and balustrade parapet, with decorative engaged low pilasters.

The ground floor has a bull nosed veranda extending into Leake Street, number 29 & 31 has a verandah awning. The first floor features Corinthian Order; engaged balustrade below the stucco architraves, and pilasters surrounding the arched sash windows, which have six paned transom lights. Engaged Corinthian pilasters divide the pairs of windows and there is decorative stucco over the arches to the cornice. As the building has been recently purchased after nealy 100 years under the same owner, it has recieved a fresh coat of paint on its rendered surface, thus the facade and structure is in good condition.

A new, vibrant destination at the corner of the West End. The expansive, interchanging space intends to cater for people of all ages, all interests, from all parts of the world. The revitalisation of this old Fremantle treasure and its intimate surrowndings intends to bring new life not just to the site itself, but heightened circulation for the surrownding business’ in the area that may in the past have been forgotten through undesirable routes through the town.
PRINCESS ON MARKET A new destination
My core intention was to establish a true and rich function for the upper levels of 29-33 Market Street and the large exposed brick original theatre space behind it that had been completely forgotten and abandoned. Modified circulation to the site makes all individual components of the complex easily accessible, with the street openings intriguing to those walking past, drawing them inside. The ‘complex’ features a boutique hotel, deli, cafe, numerous bars and a restaurant, the theatre and a rooftop event space.

Princess Hotel Lobby
New Princess Theatre
The original entrance to the Princess Theatre now contains Kakulas Sisters grocery shop. It is assumed that the original corinthian order columns have been removed and now structurally supported by steel L shape brackets and a steel beam.
To bring back the original intent of the space, the original structures have been interpreted through perforated screening where the wall dividing the space would of once been, and thin brass pillars positioned to visually represent what would of once been there.
The original meaning of this space has been lost over time, with looking up in the store, the only remnants of the grand entrance.
In the proposal, this entrance has been completely opened and acts more as an arcade that can be cirulated night and day to encourage people on the street to venture through ‘Princess on Market.’
