Tri Level Warehouse Apartment | Trademark Klopper

The iconic and multi-award-winning Fremantle landmark, ‘Primaries Wool-Store’ apartment development was ahead of its time when it was converted into a collection of uber-cool, warehouse-inspired townhouses in the mid-90s.

The revered and late Fremantle architect, Brian Klopper was appointed to design the dwellings which sit on the original foundations of a wool and hide store dating back to 1923.

This unique tri-level dwelling is one of only four in the complex with a larger floor plan and a whopping 349sqm of ownership.

Impressive factory grade, (north facing) industrial-cast-iron encased windows, exposed beams, natural timbers and white-washed brick interiors, meld with Klopper’s love of terracotta tiles and optimal natural light.

Built over three gloriously light-filled levels, this home presents the supreme tranquility of a private, inner-city retreat, yet one step away from all the action of Freo’s thriving village community.

Greeted with vast open plan living, kitchen and dining, the eye is immediately drawn to a full-width glass divide (with double doors and glass louvres) framing an inviting courtyard space with recycle brick paving and a peaceful water feature.

In keeping with an industrial aesthetic, the home’s windows adopt Klopper’s trademark style of black cast-iron framing and oversized appeal.

More classical warehouse aesthetics include a charming ceiling in timbers, white exposed beams and iron trusses which contrast perfectly with white-painted brick walls.

The sunny kitchen (equipped with a Westinghouse four-burner gas stove-top and oven) enjoys tranquil views to the mews outdoors – yet another relaxing spot to sit with a cuppa or read a book. A discreet laundry/second bathroom, with a powder room and shower, completes this floor.

Framed in wrought iron railing, an open-tread timber staircase leads to three spacious bedrooms, all laid in coastal inspired, jute carpets, along with built-in-robes, ceiling fans and UV protected windows.

The gorgeous master suite, with a bright northern aspect and views to the courtyard below, enjoys an especially high, slanted (white timber clad) ceiling while the eastern bedroom features double doors to a Juliette balcony.

Joining the bedrooms is a newly renovated, spacious bathroom with fresh, coastal appeal. Decorative floor tiles, a generous ceramic vanity and a unique, platform raised (doorless) shower is completed by a handy wall heater.

The final floor is worth the wait.

Channelling warehouse-loft-vibes all the way, this delightful space is a full floor mezzanine level, with timber floors, a soaring slanted ceiling, exposed beams, and fitted with a cubed shelving feature across the eastern wall.

Glass doors reveal an external, cantilevered timber deck, sharing all those northern rays and shielded by a glorious olive tree.

Other features include a huge storage room, locks on doors and windows, parking for 2 cars outside entrance and access to several park benches and garden spaces throughout the complex.

Presenting the best in lock-and-leave, low-maintenance living, a lifestyle of chic and designer style alongside one of Australia’s most vibrant, sea-side cities, this is a home where loneliness or boredom are simply not an option! Walk to charming bakeries, cafes, bars and restaurants; catch a foreign film at an independent cinema or take a short stroll to arrive at the harbour or beach, and breath in rejuvenating coastal surrounds.
