Minimal in structure but rich in colour and texture, this striking country home is a comfortable family residence. From the multiple courtyards to the see-through gas fireplace that links the living and dining areas, this is a home with a commitment to simplistic beauty.

Located on grassy fields, this Graham Savell designed family home features a barn-style exterior as a witty nod to its rural setting, with a striking coat of Resene Pitch Black. The high-ceilinged, airy interior blends minimalist white walls with raw wood and warm-toned décor, and the overall effect is a home that combines the best in sleek modern living with the earthy comfort of natural woods.

The Escea DX1500 High Efficiency Fireplace from the double-sided Multiroom DX Series is the perfect complement to the home's modern-yet-rustic styling. The DX1500 fireplace is a ducted gas fireplace that provides a heating output of 10.4 kW and can circulate warm air throughout the home to multiple rooms, making it an ideal heating solution.

The minimalist appearance incorporates seamlessly into the wall, while the flames add an earthy, rustic element. The combination of wooden and metallic textures that characterises the home is echoed within the fire’s White Crystalight fuel bed with driftwood.

The 1500mm width flame display is a spectacular statement with Escea's double sided see-through fireplace option, while its Smart Heat control system allows for control of the fireplace from a smartphone, computer or home automation system.
