The irresistible pull of the flame
F
ireplaces are kind of a big deal. Apart from being a big-ticket item on any project, they have the ability to turn a house into a home. Not only can they provide a major focus in any room, fireplaces are also the ultimate social lubricant. So much better than a television, a lot more interactive than a dumb heater. Fireplaces have a natural pull, and everyone always wants to sit around it if one is available in the room. The soft flickering of the light, the feeling of gentle heat enveloping the space, the warmth on our faces … it’s all so alluring and mesmerising. There’s also an element of nostalgia to fireplaces. Like moths to a flame, people have worshipped fire in the ancient times as the only source of warmth, and this very idea taps into our primal instinct. Having worked on a number of projects with fireplaces while practising as an interior designer, I’ve come to realise that choosing the right solution is not always an easy task. We are often limited by space, budget, building structure, use of the room and our lifestyle. Another crucial question when choosing a modern fireplace is: do we choose gas or wood burning? Well, we all have our preferences, of course – for me, it’s wood burning all the way. Having said that, gas is advantageous as a clean source of heat that can be conveniently concealed behind glass doors, in turn making it a safer option. But if the space you’re working with already has the infrastructure and masonry walls to facilitate a wood-burning fireplace, wood stands as an eco-friendly choice that will provide an unparalleled ambience. When looking at these examples, it’s difficult to go past the central fireplace at Liddicoat & Goldhill’s Ancient Party Barn conversion, which partially supports a new mezzanine floor with its tapering brick chimney. This fireplace makes a pimpin’ statement. Similarly, at Atelier Oslo’s Norderhov Cabin

CASA LJUNGDAHL BY NOTE DESIGN STUDIO

in Norway, the central fireplace delivers a feeling akin to sitting around an open campfire – a place to gather and exchange stories, while acting as a linking device between open spaces. The concrete fireplace at Note Design Studio’s Casa Ljungdahl does so much more than just provide heat – it acts as a visual anchor, and an efficient warm heart of the room, much like a functional piece of art. Built-in fireplaces are perhaps the most common type, having been a prominent architectural element in our homes for centuries. Having said this, there is absolutely nothing common about Luigi Rosselli Architects’ fine example, which utilises sinuous form to articulate the shape of the exhaust. This architectural gesture makes a subtle but powerful impression in the room. And last, let us take a moment to appreciate Kennedy Nolan’s outdoor fireplace. In addition to an obvious life-win of being able to toast marshmallows, this fireplace transforms an outdoor space into a year-round area for entertaining. Al fresco perfection!
