Located in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island and nestled among the historic fishing wharfs and classic New England architecture, Forty 1º North is a multi-use hospitality project that is designed for today’s yachting culture. The project encompasses a full-service marina for large yachts up to 160 feet in length accompanied by a new exterior dining club and bar pavilion. Also recently completed is the renovation of one of the existing buildings into a casual contemporary dining bistro and bar called Christie’s. The centerpiece of the project, a 24-room boutique hotel, a restaurant and lobby bar and lounge is underway. The ground floor lobbies, lounge and dining areas will be completely open to the bar pavilion and gardens with large expanses of operable glass walls.

The bar pavilions and dining deck shown is constructed of custom milled timber with an acrylic roof and turn coated roof. A large light lantern hangs over the center of the bar and illuminates the pavilion. The dining decks and lounges overlook the Hinckley yachts prevalent in the marina and the spectacular Newport harbor. The outdoor dining areas are enclosed in glass railings to maximize the views and to offer diners wind protection from the stiff Newport breezes. The large outdoor lounge furnishings were selected from furniture maker Janus Et Cie.
