Enhancing Gatherings with an Exquisite Fireplace Surround: Unveiling Coziness and Elegance in Living Spaces

In response to our client's desire to elevate their living area with a stunning fireplace surround, we embarked on a meticulous exploration of design possibilities. Utilizing detailed 3D models, we visualized an array of options to bring their vision to life. Ultimately, the client selected a simple yet elegant design, customized with their preferred color. Crafted from locally sourced Tasmanian oak, the surround features "compound" mouldings to achieve the desired effect. By using hardwood timber, we ensured a tactile experience, allowing one to feel the surface and grain pattern—a unique quality not achievable with materials like painted MDF.

Throughout the design journey, our client fully embraced the process. Together, we crafted a fireplace surround that not only enhances the beauty and warmth of the space but also creates a cozy and charming atmosphere, making it an ideal gathering point for family and friends.

About the timber

Tasmanian oak refers to the hardwood derived from three tree species: Eucalyptus regnans, Eucalyptus obliqua, or Eucalyptus delegatensis, specifically when sourced from Tasmania. In Victoria, the wood of Eucalyptus regnans and Eucalyptus delegatensis is referred to as Victorian ash. Each species has its own common names: Eucalyptus obliqua is known as stringybark or messmate, Eucalyptus regnans is recognized as mountain ash, and the closely related Eucalyptus delegatensis is referred to as alpine ash or woollybut.
