Fiveight is a developer that is proudly Western Australian and deeply invested in the future of Perth. They are no strangers to tackling very difficult and often contentious property projects that many of their contemporaries don’t have the appetite for. The commercial opportunity they saw in Carillon City was mirrored by the city-making opportunity and the civic duty they felt to help Bring City Back in WA.

Right Angle have worked closely with Fiveight on this project since 2022. We were first brought on board to deliver a Place Vision and Retail Strategy that would help define the future of the site. We embraced the role of ‘respectful outsiders’ and got to know Perth’s insiders, getting their perspectives on the joys and sorrows of city life. We crossed the Nullabor time and time again, hosted an event – titled Bringing City Back – at Lawson Flats (another CBD tone shifter) and synthesised inputs and trend forecasting from our old friends at the Future Laboratory.

Our vision parlayed into working alongside the Fiveight development team to develop an architectural brief for an international design competition. Right Angle provided peer review and helped with decision making to elect global starchitects Skidmore, Owings and Merrell (SOM) as the design lead.

Since elected, Right Angle has worked in a creative capacity of a suite of discrete communications tools and continue to work alongside Fiveight as the project progresses.
