The Old Fremantle Synagogue conversion was a unique opportunity to work within an existing historical landmark and to be a player in shaping Fremantle’s evolving identity.
With intentions to showcase the existing structures and ensure that any new built form would not compete with the heritage fabric. Establishing a clear distinction between old and new was explored with the material palette and form.
