Handmade in France, the Axis I1000 Inbuilt Single Sided wood fireplace offers sleek design, high-performance heating, and a bold flame display for modern homes.
Tucked deep in the forested slopes of Margaret River, the Treehouse Margaret River is more than a home. It’s a retreat designed to reconnect its owners with nature. Inspired by a desire to balance urban life with rural calm, the house offers sanctuary, simplicity, and sustainability in one beautifully crafted dwelling.
The site presented both challenges and opportunities. Sloped land and dense bushland demanded sensitivity and restraint. Rather than clearing the site, the design worked around it. Mature Jarrah, Karri, and Marri trees, some more than 150 years old, remain untouched. As a result, the home feels anchored within the forest, not imposed upon it.
Externally, the materials respond directly to their surroundings. Corten steel and Spotted Gum cladding offer bushfire resistance while blending into the landscape. Inside, the home opens with warmth and intention. At the centre, the Axis H1400 fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection becomes a defining element. It offers a visual focal point, a place to gather, and a source of comfort through winter.
Beyond its form, the home reflects strong environmental values. Off-grid systems support energy independence. A rainwater collection system reduces reliance on external supply. Over 2,000 native plants contribute to biodiversity and habitat restoration. A thriving vegetable patch provides fresh produce just steps from the kitchen.
The internal layout follows the terrain, stepping with the land and drawing views through wide openings. Every room feels connected—to nature, to light, and to purpose. Moreover, the design promotes seasonal living, passive comfort, and slow, intentional routines.
With its grounded palette and bushland outlooks, the Treehouse Margaret River invites stillness. The Axis H1400 fireplace completes the picture, anchoring the experience and symbolising the owners’ commitment to living well, lightly, and close to the land.

Libby’s Retreat is a peaceful family home in Western Australia’s Peel region, just a short drive from Perth. Positioned at the edge of the Darling Ranges, the single-level house overlooks the Peel Estuary and rolling hills beyond. Built for Libby, Geoff, their children, and grandchildren, the home blends connection, comfort, and rural charm.
Architect Suzie Hunt and her team at Suzanne Hunt Architect (SHA) designed the home to honour the land and Libby’s vision. The layout includes three distinct pods. Each one is positioned to capture northern light and take in panoramic views. Together, they create space for multigenerational living while maintaining privacy and flow.
At the centre of the plan, the Axis H1600XXL wood fireplace by Sculpt Fireplace Collection becomes the living area’s showpiece. The fireplace anchors the main pod, where the family gathers, relaxes, and shares meals. Its bold presence and natural warmth define the space, offering both function and beauty.
Materials were selected with care. Rammed limestone, granite, and bluestone rock enhance bushfire resilience. Inside, rammed earth and stone walls add depth and texture. These elements ground the home in its setting while creating a calming interior palette.
The main suite opens with retractable glass doors, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. A separate wing offers comfort and independence for younger family members. This thoughtful layout supports togetherness while respecting individual needs.
In every detail, Libby’s Retreat reflects purpose and love. The Axis H1600XXL wood fireplace stands at its heart—bringing warmth, elegance, and a sense of home to this enduring family sanctuary.

Hawks Nest Residence is a striking modern farmhouse set high in the hills of Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Designed as a peaceful holiday escape for families and friends, the home invites guests to experience the island’s dramatic coastline and raw natural beauty in comfort.
Positioned on an elevated site, the residence offers sweeping views across rolling hills, gum trees, and rugged cliffs. The architecture consists of two connected dwellings arranged around a tranquil internal courtyard. This clever layout allows for privacy when needed, while still fostering a sense of connection between guests.
At the heart of the open-plan living space, the Axis i1000 Freestanding Double Sided wood fireplace makes a bold statement. Supplied by Sculpt Fireplace Collection, this fireplace provides both warmth and a visual anchor within the minimalist interior. Its central location allows guests to enjoy its heat and ambience from multiple zones, while its freestanding design enhances airflow and space efficiency.
Natural and sustainable materials shape the overall aesthetic.

These choices not only contribute to thermal performance but also help the building feel grounded in its environment.
Large glass panels connect each room to the outdoors, blurring the line between interior and exterior. Light floods every corner of the home, while views stretch uninterrupted toward the horizon. Even from inside, nature remains the focus.
Above all, Hawks Nest Residence balances contemporary style with environmental sensitivity. It offers a refined yet grounded experience—perfect for those seeking peace, design, and nature in one place. The Axis i1000 Freestanding Double Sided wood fireplace plays a vital role in this vision, bringing atmosphere, efficiency, and architectural presence to a truly unique retreat.

Gage Roads Brewery is a vibrant reimagining of a historic 1926 A-Shed, now transformed into a lively waterfront venue in the heart of Fremantle.

Crafted with care and vision, Gage Roads Brewery is more than just a place to enjoy a drink. It’s a space where history and hospitality meet. The thoughtful restoration preserves the industrial charm of the original shed, while materials, furnishings, and finishes reflect coastal simplicity and contemporary style.
The Axis i1000 freestanding double-sided wood fireplace perfectly complements the design—blending aesthetics, practicality, and a sense of place.
