Exuding a sense of sophistication and luxury, the ambiance of Al Lupo truly captures the essence of Fremantle, with its focal point a gracefully curved bar, mirrored above by matching floating wine racks. With sightlines to the mesmerising Indian Ocean, the visual interaction between the external elements and the welcoming sanctuary of Al Lupo has been achieved by successfully merging two tenancies beneath an existing residential apartment complex and replacing the entire frontage with custom glazing, accompanied by low-light tiles and fluted glass.

Characterised by bespoke joinery, recycled hardwood flooring, and wall paneling, Al Lupo also features a particularly distinctive black acoustic ceiling. Extensive internal work included updating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to incorporate a discreetly-located commercial kitchen whilst aesthetically integrating existing structural columns throughout the tenancy by using a concrete finish to complement the rustic style of recycled brickwork and flooring.

The fit out is finished with a stylish and complementary lighting design, highlighting the architectural features as well as ensuring full Bluetooth control on all the lights and dimming systems - perfect for adjusting ‘on the fly’ in response to changing coastal weather conditions.

Aligning with our own exceptionally high standards, the client anticipated, and received, a promptly-delivered, on-budget project with no defects. Given the time frame and location within a residential apartment block, in addition to the constantly-evolving design, Al Lupo is a testament to ICS’ clear and concise control and communication plan with residents, long-term sub contractors and client representatives.
