Bringing Nature In: The JC Bordelet Eva in SAOTA’s Montauk Masterpiece

At Sculpt Fireplace Collection, we’re proud to see our exclusive JC Bordelet Eva fireplace featured in some of the world’s most visionary homes. One of the most striking examples is SAOTA’s Montauk project. A bold, multi-level residence perched on the cliffs of Long Island. Designed to honour the rhythm of the landscape, this home blurs the boundary between inside and out, and the Eva plays a pivotal role in that dialogue.

A Fireplace That Frames the View

As SAOTA principal Mark Bullivant explains, the southern orientation of the Montauk site allowed for expansive glazing and open-plan living spaces that flow effortlessly toward the ocean. The JC Bordelet Eva – suspended centrally in the home’s main living area – enhances that connection. Anchoring the interior without disrupting the view.

With its signature suspended design and 360° sculptural form, the Eva creates an architectural focal point that’s both practical and poetic. When placed in such a transparently glazed setting, it becomes part of the natural rhythm. Catching the light, mirroring the coastline, and creating an atmosphere of warmth without enclosing the space.

Design Inspired by Context

The materials in this project were chosen for their tactile quality and contextual relevance. From local granite to shou sugi ban timber cladding. The JC Bordelet Eva, with its handcrafted metal body and bold silhouette, aligns perfectly with that material ethos. The fireplace’s sleek finish and refined craftsmanship reflect the architectural language of the surrounding barns while standing as a distinctly modern piece of French design.

Where Nature and Architecture Align

The Eva is more than just a fireplace – it’s a design statement that aligns with the architectural principles SAOTA is known for. Connection to site, celebration of light, and seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces. In this home, the Eva not only provides heat but becomes a vessel for atmosphere, presence, and place.

Whether in a coastal retreat or a city residence, the JC Bordelet Eva invites you to slow down and settle into your surroundings. At Sculpt, we believe true luxury lies in that connection. To nature, to craft, and to the rhythm of life around you.
