Hyatt Regency Newport, RI
Hyatt Regency Newport, RI from Chris J. Machold
Hyatt Regency Newport, RI

The Hyatt Regency of Newport, RI project was a total site renovation. Brown Sardina Inc was hired by Studio AD Architects of Providence, RI and Jim Heroux was the principal in charge. The Hyatt hired a Brad consultant to create a new vision for the hotel early in the conceptual design phase and the design team then created phased drawings for the hotel to follow for years to come.
As project manager I worked closely with VHB civil engineers to create CMRC compliant drawings. and a CD package of thirty four drawings. 2007-2009.
The overall concept was to make this Hyatt Hotel a high end resort quality destination for Newport tourists. To do this the design team completely changed the entrance to create an experience of nautical elegance. We used new materials, a fountain, stone veneers, walls, and plantings to accomplish the transformation.
