While the cooler months mean weekend hibernation, how water bottles, and heavier than socially acceptable reliance on ugg boots, winter doesn’t have to mean a huge electricity bill. Think Built, based in the Sutherland Shire, put together their favourite fire place designs.. all guaranteed to create a beautiful sensory experience in your home. Talk to Think Built about how adding a fireplace into your reno project can help you beat the winter blues by warming your space, adding a sense of luxury and providing an energy efficient alternative to other heating systems. Think Built can also talk you through what type of fire place (gas fire, wood burning, electric or ethanol) you’ll need for your home.
The wall mounted fireplace
Wall mounted fireplaces can be designed into a space as it’s focal point, or seamlessly integrated into a room. Think Built recently installed a wall mounted fireplace in the Clovelly Project, below the TV to create a sleek, ultra-modern yet functional space.
The outdoor fireplace
As more homeowners seek to bring the indoors out, fireplaces and fire pits are becoming an even hotter commodity — literally and figuratively. This corner, outdoor fireplace in Think Built’s recent Burraneer project really elevated this homeowner’s outdoor living space, creating the ultimate alfresco entertaining area.
The suspended fireplace
Hung from the ceiling, a suspended fireplace can create a beautiful interior sculpture and focal point for a room.
The free standing fireplaces
A freestanding fireplace is a highly efficient heating option for homes that don’t have enough wall space for an inbuilt fireplace, is perfect for homes with high cathedral style ceilings and works well with large format glass windows that offer a panoramic view.
The double-sided fireplace
Use this playful design as a divider between two grand living spaces and enjoy the flickering of dancing flames from both sides. A double sided fireplace allows an unsurpassed ambience in any centre space.
