After working on this project for over six months were happy to give you a sneak peak of our work on the glass wall installation at the refurbished RFDS WA Operations Facility. The official unveiling by the Premier of Western Australia was on Sunday the 24th May 2009. We’ll post the glamour shots as soon as they are completed as well as a full case study of the project detailing the design rationale, techniques and just what was involved in the project.
Phase one of our work for Fremantle Prison is now complete with the installation of the interpretive signage to the Visitor Centre done and dusted. The Fremantle Prison is one of Western Australia’s premier heritage sites, centrally located in the heart of the port city of Fremantle. The Prison was built by convicts in the 1850s and was closed as a place of incarceration in 1991 after 136 years of continuous use. It was opened to the public in 1992 as a tourist site and in recognition of its heritage value.

Axiom Design Partners will be serving out a 2-year term with Fremantle Prison, charged with being the most suitably qualified design firm to develop an integrated wayfinding signage system and comprehensive interpretive graphics installations at this heritage listed site, in preparation for possible World Heritage listing in 2010.
We’re very proud to announce that we’ll be working with an icon of the Australian outback – The Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS). The RDFS is the first, largest and most comprehensive aeromedical organisation in the world and is a not-for-profit charitable Service providing aeromedical emergency and primary health care services together with communication and education assistance to people who live, work and travel in regional and remote Australia.
Great, aesthetically pleasing design needn’t be limited to traditional architectural forms such as houses and public buildings. Utilitarian spaces, such as car parks, present architects and designers with a unique opportunity to bring beauty and harmony to the everyday functional spaces that are normally ignored by great design minds. We’re excited to report that the tide is changing, evidenced by these good-looking car parks.
