10 De Lauret Avenue, Newport

Analysis

This is a characterful, site-responsive coastal house with strong bushland context and commanding water views rather than an unmistakeable architect‑signature. It has convincing period details (parquet floors, timber joinery, exposed beams and deep decks) and good indoor–outdoor integration, but the form and detailing are modest and typical of custom 1960–80s holiday/bush houses rather than landmark architecture.
