Newport Hotel Base Build Alterations & Additions | $3M | Constructed 2022
This project peeled back a number of additions to the much loved heritage listed Newport Hotel in Fremantle exposing interesting remnants of previous use, heritage details and the raw textural materiality of the building's original fabric. A significant upgrade of the front South Terrace facade contributes to its surrounding context and Fremantle’s iconic main High Street. The base build works unlocked a series of previously under-utilised spaces by filling in the central courtyard at upper level, turning the front faux balcony into a usable space and adding a new rear entry lobby accessed off Paddy Troy Mall separating the property into two tenancies. The lower level tenancy accessed off South Terrace was designed to accommdate Night Owl's Flight Club Fremantle fitout and the upper tenancy is accessed off Paddy Troy Mall at the rear. Documented in conjunction with RAD Architecture. Constructed by Buckingham Re-Development Company.
