Project Feature: The Silo House, Inverloch VIC

Posted on December 25th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Perched on a rural block in Inverloch, Victoria, The Silo House merges rustic history with architectural ambition. Originally the site of a modest cedar farmhouse, the property has been reimagined into one of Australia’s most talked-about design stays, featured on Grand Designs Australia (Season 10, Episode 2) and listed among the country’s top 100 unique getaways.

At the heart of this distinctive cabin-style retreat stands the Seguin Super 9 freestanding wood fireplace, supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection. It not only heats the home but defines its soul.

Where Rural Charm Meets Modern Craft

The design honours the site’s origins while embracing reinvention. Materials from the original build — timber, steel, concrete — are repurposed to form a backdrop for bold architectural moves. Exposed concrete walls, raw finishes, and vintage textures meet contemporary detailing throughout the home’s three-storey layout.

The two original silos now serve as self-contained bedroom towers, each with an ensuite and dramatic vertical volume. High ceilings in the main pod accommodate mezzanine sleeping quarters, creating a warm, loft-style energy.

 

Fireplace as Design Anchor

In the centre of the home, the Seguin Super 9 becomes the visual and emotional anchor. Mounted on a black steel bench, it delivers both architectural weight and functional warmth. The strong lines and robust cast iron finish mirror the project’s industrial edge, while the rich flame softens the concrete palette and invites guests to gather.

Surrounded by salvaged leather sofas, vintage rugs, and panoramic countryside views, the fireplace transforms the living room into a space of connection and comfort.

 

A Layout Built for Lifestyle

The Silo House was made to be shared. The large industrial-style kitchen flows into an open dining area, which spills out to a deck and outdoor firepit. Downstairs, a hidden speakeasy lounge brings a sense of surprise and retreat. It’s a moody, low-lit space designed for slow drinks, late conversations, or quiet reflection.

Across four bedrooms, the home sleeps up to 12 guests. Every detail, from raw beams to custom joinery, plays a role in the storytelling. Yet it’s the fireplace that ties everything together, offering warmth, grounding, and timeless character.

Project Feature: Libby’s Retreat, Peel WA

Posted on December 11th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Tucked into the Peel region of Western Australia, just south of Perth, Libby’s Retreat offers a calm, grounded escape for three generations of family. Positioned on the edge of the Darling Ranges, this single-level farmhouse looks out over sweeping views of the Peel Estuary, bringing together landscape, lifestyle, and legacy.

Designed by Suzanne Hunt Architect (SHA), the home reflects Libby’s vision for connection, comfort, and long-term living, with the Axis H1600XXL wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection anchoring its heart.

Architecture Shaped by Light, Land, and Family

Rather than building one large structure, the architect designed three distinct pods that form a cohesive whole. Each pod captures northern light, preserves view corridors, and serves a specific purpose, from shared family living to private spaces for children and grandchildren.

The design allows multigenerational living to unfold naturally. Central gathering zones bring everyone together, while smaller, quieter areas provide privacy when needed.

 

Fireplace as a Gathering Point

At the core of the main pod, the Axis H1600XXL stands tall. This wood-burning fireplace doesn’t just heat the home, it creates a natural gathering point. With its strong form and expansive glass, it frames the flame while reinforcing the home’s material palette and architectural rhythm.

The fireplace defines the living area without dominating it. It draws family members together and invites conversation, calm, and connection, day or night.

 

Materials That Reflect and Respect the Landscape

Libby’s Retreat uses natural materials to create a sense of permanence and harmony. Rammed limestone, granite, and bluestone offer bushfire resilience while visually anchoring the home to its setting. Inside, rammed earth walls, natural stone, and timber accents add richness and texture without excess.

Large retractable glass doors open the main suite to the outdoors. The result is a seamless connection to the land, where the home breathes with the landscape and evolves with the seasons.

 

A Home Built for Generations

Libby’s Retreat balances practicality with emotion. The layout supports day-to-day function while reflecting deep personal values. It’s a home made for shared meals, quiet mornings, and meaningful time together.

At the heart of it all, the Axis H1600XXL provides warmth, strength, and timeless presence. It stands not only as a piece of design, but as a living part of the family’s story.

Project Feature: House NB, Slovenia

Posted on November 20th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Perched at the edge of a valley in Podgorje pri Slovenj Gradcu, Slovenia, House NB is a masterful expression of architecture in harmony with landscape. With its sculptural Art Deco form and seamless transitions between interior and exterior, the residence invites both contemplation and connection.

At the centre of the home, the JC Bordelet Lea suspended fireplace, proudly supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection, anchors the open-plan space with warmth and visual drama.

Fire at the Heart of the Home

Suspended mid-air beneath soaring ceilings, the JC Bordelet Lea creates a striking focal point in the main living zone. Flames remain in full view from every angle, casting light and comfort across the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Its central placement encourages both gathering and quiet reflection.

 

A Home Designed for Flow and Light

Daylight pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the organic transitions between spaces. The home features a raised dining platform, a library nook, a gallery-style play area, and a floating stone kitchen island—each with a unique purpose and feel, yet all grounded by the fireplace.

The result is a unified interior experience, where each zone feels intentional, open, and tactile.

 

Architecture That Embraces Its Setting

Outdoor terraces wrap around the building and extend the living areas into the surrounding valley. These spaces blur the boundaries between inside and out, offering year-round use and uninterrupted connection to the land.

The bold exterior form shelters the quiet, material-rich interiors, where wood, stone, and soft lighting create a calming rhythm throughout.

 

Details That Elevate Everyday Living

In private zones, the same design language continues. A spa-inspired bathroom, influenced by Henri Rousseau’s lush, surreal landscapes, integrates art, nature, and texture. Every surface and transition reflects careful attention and refined restraint.

At every turn, House NB reveals new layers of experience. The JC Bordelet Lea fireplace doesn’t just heat the home, it brings it to life.

Project Feature: Amaroo II, Brisbane QLD

Posted on October 23rd, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Set within a quiet rural landscape north of Brisbane, Amaroo II reflects calm, clarity, and connection to place. Designed by Shaun Lockyer Architects and built by Envisage Building, this finely crafted residence provides a peaceful retreat for its owners, Mark and Ann Webber.

At the centre of the home’s main living space, the Axis I1000 FS wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection plays a grounding role. It brings warmth and balance to a home designed for stillness and renewal.

 

A Place Designed for Rest and Reflection

Positioned on the traditional lands of the Jinibara people, Amaroo II takes its name from the Aboriginal word meaning “beautiful place.” The site itself feels secluded and timeless, with an expansive layout that supports privacy and tranquillity.

The home’s cruciform plan creates functional zones tailored to the couple’s lifestyle. A southern wing provides arrival access and utility spaces, while the northern pavilion contains the living areas and main bedroom. A protected courtyard links the two, forming a quiet internal sanctuary that shields the home from the elements.

 

Simplicity, Structure and Warmth

Amaroo II combines refined materials with a strong architectural rhythm. The form reads as solid and protective at the base, with a lightweight charred timber roof floating above. This elevated structure improves solar and water performance while maintaining a clean silhouette that gently lifts toward the landscape.

Material choices reinforce the home’s connection to its surroundings. The use of spotted gum reflects the dominant trees in the area, while locally sourced stone grounds the building to its site. These textures enhance the experience of moving through the home, shifting from shaded courtyards to sunlit interiors.

 

The Fireplace at the Heart of the Home

Inside the main living area, the Axis I1000 FS wood fireplace brings quiet presence and warmth. Its minimalist design aligns perfectly with the home’s architectural language. Clean lines and strong proportions allow the fireplace to sit comfortably within the space, while delivering powerful heating performance.

More than just a heat source, the fireplace becomes a natural anchor for daily rituals — a place to gather, relax, and reconnect. It adds atmosphere to the open-plan interior while complementing the natural tones and refined finishes throughout.

 

A Joyful and Intentional Home

Every element of Amaroo II reflects collaboration and care. It is a house shaped by context, built with intention, and designed for a specific way of living. The result is a home that feels both grounded and expansive — intimate in scale but generous in experience.

The Axis I1000 FS supports this vision. It reinforces the home’s purpose as a sanctuary, adding not just warmth but a sense of quiet strength.

Project Feature: Rosedale Farm Stay by Steve Cordony

Posted on October 9th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

In the heart of Orange’s wine region, Rosedale Farm Stay stands as a restored 1877 homestead brought back to life by interior designer Steve Cordony. This elegant farmhouse merges rural charm with high-end design, offering a guest experience that feels both luxurious and grounded.

At the centre of the home, the Seguin Super 9 Cast Iron Fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection anchors the living space. Its warmth and sculptural presence reflect the home’s overall design approach, classic, layered, and deeply welcoming.

 

A Heritage Home, Thoughtfully Revived

From the moment guests enter, the home makes a lasting impression. Wide hallways, restored timber detailing, and high ceilings speak to its heritage, while layered textures and a soft, calming palette bring a sense of ease. Cordony’s design approach preserves the original character of the homestead while elevating it with modern touches.

 

The Fireplace as a Central Feature

Positioned in the main lounge, the Seguin Super 9 acts as a sculptural focal point. Its robust cast iron body and clean lines complement the home’s traditional architecture while offering efficient, radiant heat. The open flame becomes a gathering point, drawing people in and encouraging moments of pause and reflection.

Sourced from Sculpt Fireplace Collection, the Super 9 was chosen for its strong presence and reliable performance. It blends seamlessly with the timber flooring, neutral furnishings, and earthy tones found throughout the living space.

 

Details That Define the Experience

The property features six generous bedrooms, three bathrooms, a formal dining room, library, and well-appointed kitchen. Throughout the home, guests will find luxurious finishes including Frette linen, marble vanities, Dyson appliances, and Santa Maria Novella amenities. Each detail has been selected to enhance the guest experience while staying true to the home’s rural identity.

 

A Connection to the Outdoors

Beyond the interiors, Rosedale offers manicured gardens and expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Two resident shire horses, Ebony and Brave, roam the paddocks and bring an added layer of warmth and charm to the property. The landscape invites guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.

 

Rosedale Farm Stay: Where Design Meets Tranquillity

Available on Airbnb, Rosedale Farm Stay provides a unique opportunity to experience luxury rural accommodation in one of New South Wales’ most scenic regions. Whether relaxing by the fire or exploring the grounds, guests are encouraged to take their time and enjoy the quiet beauty of the surroundings.

The Seguin Super 9 fireplace is not just a design feature, but the emotional centre of the home. It brings people together and adds a sense of intimacy to this grand country escape.

Project Feature: Two Bays Brewery, Dromana VIC

Posted on September 25th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

Located on the Mornington Peninsula, Two Bays Brewery in Dromana has quickly become a destination for great beer, good food, and welcoming design. Since opening in 2018, the brewery has gained a loyal following for its 100% gluten-free offerings and relaxed coastal atmosphere.

A key feature of the space is the Seguin Multivision 8000 3S Cheminee fireplace, a three-sided wood-burning fireplace supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection. Positioned at the heart of the dining area, the fireplace brings warmth, visual focus, and a soft glow that complements the brewery’s industrial finishes.

Balancing Industrial Style with Warmth

The interior design blends exposed steel, concrete flooring, and raw timber features. These materials give the space a bold, contemporary edge. The Seguin MV8000 3S fireplace softens the overall palette, creating a central gathering point that feels both comfortable and refined.

 

Guests are naturally drawn to the fire. Whether enjoying a rotating tap beer or a house-made gluten-free pizza, the flame adds to the sensory experience. It enhances the ambiance and encourages people to stay and settle in.

Designed for Atmosphere and Comfort

The Seguin Multivision 8000 3S model was selected for its clean lines, three-sided flame view, and high performance. It fits the venue’s layout perfectly, offering guests a view of the fire from all directions within the main space.

Supplied and supported by Sculpt Fireplace Collection, the fireplace does more than heat the room. It shapes the way people interact with the space. It sparks conversation, adds movement and texture, and provides comfort during the cooler months.

 

A Brewery Experience Like No Other

Two Bays Brewery has carved out a niche by combining premium gluten-free brewing with thoughtful design. The team behind the venue has created more than just a place to eat and drink. It’s a space where everyone is welcome, and every detail has a purpose.

The Y House

Posted on August 28th, 2025 by marketing@sculptfireplaces.com.au

A Resilient Coastal Retreat Reborn

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Wye River, Victoria, the Y House is an architectural response to loss, resilience, and renewal. Designed by Andrew Simpson Architects and built by Camson Homes, this striking home replaces a cherished family retreat destroyed in the 2015 Otway Ranges bushfires. Its distinctive Y-shaped plan delivers not just panoramic views but a future-focused response to fire risk, coastal weather, and multigenerational living.

 

Designing for Site and Safety

Y House was developed under challenging site conditions, including bushfire flame zone classification, steep terrain, landslip risk, and complex waste management requirements. In response, the architects crafted a flexible, durable plan that embraces both safety and liveability.

The Y-shaped footprint is more than a design statement. It separates the home into multiple wings, supporting different age groups within the family while maintaining strong communal links. Every wing captures ocean views, natural light, and cross ventilation, enhancing everyday comfort in a remote and demanding setting.

 

Bushfire Resilience Meets Modern Minimalism

Externally, Y House is defined by its hardwearing, fire-conscious material palette. Metal sheet cladding and cement sheet lining form a resilient outer skin. Chosen for their ability to endure extreme conditions. Despite this durability, the design never feels heavy or defensive. Instead, it nestles into the landscape with quiet confidence, echoing the tones and textures of its surroundings.

 

Warmth Within: The Axis i1000 FS Fireplace

Inside, the home contrasts the rugged exterior with warmth, lightness, and clarity. Soft timber finishes and clean lines create a calm and inviting interior atmosphere. At its heart, an Axis i1000 FS wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection provides a natural centrepiece for the main living space.

Selected for both its performance and aesthetic appeal, the Axis fireplace complements the home’s minimal palette and architectural rhythm. Its clean design and strong heat output make it ideal for coastal winters and shared family gatherings.

 

An Enduring Legacy

Y House is more than just a rebuild, it’s a future-facing family retreat that reflects deep environmental awareness and architectural care. By balancing strength with softness, structure with openness, and innovation with simplicity, this home offers a powerful example of bushfire-responsive coastal design that will serve generations to come.
