The Newport Project banner

The Newport Project was an 18 month endeavour to construct a stunning coastal beach house. Designed by Gud Studio, with interior design led by Kate Lawrence and executed by Rowland Building Co, this architectural beach house is situated on a 650 square metre block and spans three expansive levels. The mission was to create an immersive experience combining functional elements with aesthetic appeal through curated design and hardware choices.

Seaside Sophistication

The owners aspired to have a timeless beach house that encapsulated their personal style while serving as a sanctuary for years to come. In Kate’s design philosophy, architectural hardware plays a pivotal role in a space. Rather than regarding it as a mere functional element, it was embraced as an opportunity to enhance the overall ambiance. This led to the selection of Iver’s Helsinki range in Brushed Gold PVD.

Brushed Gold PVD was the perfect choice for this build. Its resistance to coastal and moisture-rich environments ensures a long-lasting finish that will withstand the elements ensuring longevity and style. Its durability makes it an excellent option for any interior or exterior setting, whether residential or commercial.

The hardware selections were made to align with the design concept, infusing the space with a subtle seaside sophistication. Every hinge, handle, and lock contributed to the overarching story, adding depth and character to the home, elevating the overall design aesthetic.
