Balnarring Beach House is a striking example of refined coastal living on the Mornington Peninsula, featuring the Axis i1000 freestanding wood fireplace from Sculpt Fireplace Collection as a commanding design centerpiece. Resting on a sleek black steel bench, the fireplace draws the eye with its bold presence and adds warmth, atmosphere, and architectural balance to the space.
Designed by the renowned 11 Dimensions Architect Studio, this modern coastal retreat was brought to life to fulfil a young family’s dream of seaside serenity. The architects embraced a dark-toned palette, enriched with timber textures and natural materials, to craft a tranquil yet sophisticated interior. At the heart of the living zone, the Axis i1000 freestanding wood fireplace creates an elegant contrast and complements the home’s organic flow.
The dual-tone kitchen offers a visual dialogue between light and dark – pairing a soft marble splashback and island countertop with sleek black appliances. Generous glazing invites natural light into every corner of the home, including the bathrooms where oversized windows frame lush coastal views. Indoor greenery weaves throughout the space, further reinforcing the connection between the home and its environment.
A harmonious blend of contemporary design, natural materials, and ambient warmth, Balnarring Beach House showcases how the Axis i1000 freestanding wood fireplace elevates both form and function – redefining coastal living for a family seeking comfort by the sea.
