Perched atop Newport’s breathtaking coastline, personalities Mitch and Mark’s latest renovation is a testament to the seamless integration of contemporary comfort and coastal charm. The celebrated designers, known for their bold and stylish approach to home transformations, have turned their focus inward—reimagining their own 1970s-era residence into a refined sanctuary that embraces its million-dollar views and embodies the relaxed essence of Northern Beaches living.

After years of perfecting properties for others, the duo has taken a more measured approach to their own home. Living in the space has allowed them to deeply consider each design decision, ensuring the renovation remains true to both the home’s original character and their own personal aesthetics. Retaining structural elements such as timber-beamed ceilings and natural stone textures, they have introduced modern touches that enhance light, airflow, and spatial flow, crafting a residence that feels effortlessly connected to its stunning surrounds.

The clean, sculptural lines of shapes within the architecture are a consistent design element that ties the rooms various decor elements, mix of colours, and materials together. The Breeze AC, designed with curved ABS plastic blades and anti-corrosive metal components is ideally suited to this home and archives a balance between seamless integration into the surrounding architectural stylings, and improving the comfort of the home—an essential consideration for a home exposed to the elements of Newport’s oceanfront climate.

Beyond the interiors, Mitch and Mark have embraced the challenge of transforming the steep, expansive garden into a verdant retreat. In an effort to be cost efficient and sustainable, they have sourced plants from family and friends’ gardens embedded personal connections into the landscape. This thoughtful approach mirrors their philosophy throughout the project—blending innovation with sentimentality to create a home that not only looks beautiful but also feels deeply personal.

Mitch and Mark’s Newport renovation is more than just a design overhaul—it’s a love letter to the coastal lifestyle they’ve embraced. With the Fanco Breeze AC seamlessly supporting both form and function, the home exemplifies modern beachside living, where architectural sophistication meets effortless, breezy comfort.
