Longtime collaborators Bec, an Adelaide personality, and Marie, an interior designer — reunited to turn their shared passion for design and build into a stylish duplex project to showcase thoughtful, feel-good living.
From soft white tones and organic curves to a mix of textures and golden accents, the home feels refined yet effortless. But it’s the fireplace that quietly pulls everything together.
A Vision Grounded in Warmth
“Our vision for this project was to create a modern Mediterranean-inspired space, with a fresh, airy feel,” says Marie. “We focused on soft white tones, organic curves, light timbers, and a carefully curated mix of gold and bronze finishes to bring warmth and elegance.”
The fireplace wasn’t an afterthought — it was an anchor. From the beginning, Bec and Marie knew they needed a focal point that could ground the open-plan living space and enhance the home’s serene aesthetic.
Choosing the Right Fireplace
After visiting Stoke Fireplace Studio Adelaide, the pair selected the Escea DS1150 Gas Fireplace — a sleek, frameless design with a minimalist profile and customisable features.
“We chose the Escea DS1150 because it was the perfect fit for the home—both in size and design,” says Bec. “It’s large enough to create a statement, yet the slim, fine frame gives it a delicate, refined presence.”
To complement the natural materials woven throughout the home, they selected a traditional log fuelbed, which added visual warmth and tied into the palette.
“The wood logs added a beautiful natural element that worked seamlessly with our overall palette,” adds Marie. “And we loved the finish — it felt considered, warm, and just right for the space.”
Design That Feels Like Home
Installed by Stoke Adelaide’s expert team, the fireplace now sits as a central feature within the lounge, kitchen, and dining area — not just heating the space, but shaping its entire mood.
“The fireplace became a key feature in the open-plan area,” says Bec. “It complements the Mediterranean tones throughout the home and adds a sense of comfort and warmth, especially during the cooler months.”
Even when it’s not in use, the fireplace continues to play a visual role. “It really anchors the space and brings a cosy, lived-in feel when it’s on,” says Marie. “And even when it’s not, it still looks beautiful.”
A Seamless, Stress-Free Experience
Working with the team at Stoke Adelaide made the process feel as smooth and intentional as the design itself.
“Adam in particular was incredibly knowledgeable, relaxed and down-to-earth,” says Marie. “He made the entire installation process smooth and enjoyable.”
From early design conversations through to installation, Bec and Marie found themselves supported by a team that truly understood their vision.
“They just got it,” says Bec.
