Some still see indoor stadiums as just polished floors in a basic shed—but with thoughtful planning and design, they can become much more. These facilities offer communities opportunities that extend well beyond sport.

East Fremantle Community Park, having recently celebrated its official opening, co-locates three sporting clubs with additional amenities such as a fitness centre, café/restaurant and outdoor play and skate space.

Carabiner are thrilled to celebrate the opening of the East Fremantle Community Park with the Town, Clubs, local and State Government.

Premier Roger Cook officially opened the Park on February 1st, 2025 amongst a festive atmosphere of community excitement.

Join us for five minutes with Peter Giangiulio, one of Carabiner’s inaugural Directors, well known for his dedication to delivering public architecture that aligns with and supports its users – from primary school students beginning their learning journey, to the minerals and resources industry of WA.

Carabiner are proud to unveil a major milestone in the redevelopment of the much loved Glenorchy War Memorial Pool, Tasmania (in collaboration with MI Global and LIMINAL Architecture).

Carabiner are proud to be a part of the Town of Bassendean's vision for the future of the Bassendean Oval Precinct Redevelopment. The draft masterplan is now published on the Town's website, inviting feedback from the public on this significant community asset.

One of Perth’s leading architecture firms, Carabiner, has appointed a new Chief Executive Officer, Steve McDonald, to drive business growth and development as one of its long-time directors, Peter Giangiulio, calls time on a stellar career.

Factoring teacher working hours and student lessons during a normal school year, a school may be open 40-50 hours a week on average - or about 20-25% of the time. As a valuable investment by Local and State Government, these facilities can offer much more.

As Architects who design and deliver public buildings, we remain aware of current and emerging construction styles, as well as appreciating the heritage fabrics of the past, and their contribution to shaping of place and local history. Our own office, ‘Cremorne Arcade’ located at 572 Hay Street Perth, has a story to tell..

Commencing in the 1980’s, integrated Education Support facilities have become part of a movement away from prescriptive historical models. Parents of children with special needs now have the option to integrate their children into mainstream schooling utilising such specialised, integrated Education Support facilities; or find placement within traditional separate, specialised schools, depending on specific individual needs and preferences.

For David Karotkin, Carabiner's Principal and former Australian Institute of Architects National and WA Chapter President, Architecture has the ability to positively shape people's lives, and it begins with putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.

Perth’s rapid growth has meant Local Governments are under increasing pressure to deliver projects that align with strategic vision, while achieving optimal delivery timeline and budgetary outcomes. Often these community assets are called upon to help alleviate a myriad of social concerns, and support participation and resilience as needs and lifestyles change.
