Cambiaforma

Nella progettazione di una nuova abitazione contemporanea da zero, lo studio di architettura e interior design SAAJ Design di Melbourne ha avuto carta bianca per valorizzare ogni eccezionale opportunità progettuale, realizzando una casa altamente privata e fortemente connessa con l’esterno.

From the outset, a fireplace was an important element. But combining a wealth of organic materials with fire was always going to be a challenge.

Intagliato in un’impiallacciatura di legno di she-oak riciclato e attraversato da un focolare sospeso in granito, EcoSmart Fire presenta un elemento di design ironico: il fuoco arde all’interno di quella che appare come una sezione tagliata di un tronco d’albero.

“We selected the EcoSmart Fire burner and used the principles of the Zeta fireplace as it gave us the ability to create an eco-friendly, ventless fireplace within an organic form adjacent to a timber material,” says Sally Anderson, director of SAAJ Design.

Situated on the living level of the new house which includes a sitting area, kitchen, scullery, powder room and a separate dining space, the customised EcoSmart Fire provides a stunning design statement. One end of the living space features a custom crafted she-oak timber side board and the other a she-oak timber wall which sweeps into an elliptical shaped cylinder holding the EcoSmart Fire stainless steel burner. Sally explains.

SAAJ Design worked closely with The Fire Company, Wilstruct the builder, the joiner and the furniture specialist, Damien Wright to customise the indoor fireplace with its stainless steel surrounds and to combine it with the timber veneer format to create the shapes. “The end result is extremely positive and the clients love the result,” says Sally. “The Ecosmart Fire burners are a great way to achieve the ambiance of fire within unique settings and we have since specified the product in a couple of other projects.”
