The vision for the renovation was clear: open up the home, rearrange the floorplan to create a better living space for the owners, bring in more natural lighting, and create a modern lifestyle layout that didn’t erase the character of the old cottage. To achieve this, the team removed the existing sunroom and balcony at the rear of the home, replacing it with a light-filled extension that now houses a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This heart of the home flows seamlessly into the newly landscaped backyard, complete with a sparkling new pool—perfect for Sydney’s warm summers and relaxed outdoor lifestyle.

Central to this new space is the Lopi 564CF 35K GS2 Gas fireplace, proudly positioned in the living room. This fireplace was more than just a design choice; it was the homeowners’ dream feature. A fireplace was non-negotiable—and the team at Three Birds Renovations chose the perfect unit. The clean-face design offers a sleek, contemporary profile, while still providing the warmth and ambience of a traditional hearth.

The traditional styling of the Lopi 564 series blends effortlessly into the overall aesthetic of the home. Its rich black trim contrasts beautifully with the soft, natural tones used throughout, while the tall, captivating flames add movement and elegance to the space. As part of Lopi’s premium gas fireplace range, this model is equipped with both Top Down and Ember-Glo accent lighting, enhancing the beauty of the fire and increasing the realism of the log set.

Beyond its visual appeal, the 564CF 35K GS2 delivers serious performance. With a powerful heat output capable of warming up to 158sqm, it’s more than capable of heating the home’s expansive open-plan living area—even during Sydney’s coldest winter nights.

This model also features Lopi’s GreenSmart 2 (GS2) system, giving homeowners advanced control over the fireplace, from adjusting accent lighting to operating the unit in Smart Thermostat mode which modulates flame height to maintain a consistent room temperature — combining comfort, efficiency, and innovation all in one system.

To elevate the look further, a special render finish was applied to the fireplace surround, giving it a textured, artisan feel that anchors the space. TV provisions were also seamlessly integrated into the design, ensuring functionality didn’t compromise style. Whether lit for warmth on a cool evening or simply admired as a statement piece, the fireplace is the undeniable centrepiece of the home.

The renovation’s interior palette leans heavily into neutral tones and natural stone finishes, offering a soft, calming backdrop that complements the home’s cottage roots while giving it a timeless, modern edge. High ceilings amplify the sense of space, while large glass doors and strategically placed skylights allow natural light to flood every corner of the home.

It’s this thoughtful balance of old and new that makes House 17 so special. From the carefully chosen materials to the open, airy layout and standout fireplace, every element of this renovation has been considered with both style and lifestyle in mind.

The 564CF 35K GS2 is available in either Natural Gas or LPG (Bottled Gas) configurations, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an efficient, traditional gas fireplace equipped with advanced technologies.

At the heart of the living space is the Lopi 864 40K GS2 gas fireplace, selected for its realistic flames and exceptional heating capacity. Its sleek design perfectly complements the home’s coastal theme, blending warmth and functionality in a space designed for both comfort and style.

The fireplace is clad in Mykonos stone, supplied by Stone Style. This choice of material enhances the fireplace’s visual appeal, adding an earthy texture that aligns with the home’s natural design elements. The stone’s tones and patterns contribute to the home’s organic aesthetic, creating a focal point that is both inviting and sophisticated. The open-plan layout of the home emphasizes the flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, while the fireplace provides a warm, cosy anchor to the central living area. The thoughtful placement of the fireplace ensures it remains a key feature, enhancing the sense of comfort and relaxation that defines the home.

The Lopi 864CF 40K GS2 is the largest in our range of traditional fireplaces, boasting an impressive high heat output capable of heating up to 185Sqm, making it the perfect choice for this large open floorplan. For increased functionality, this unit allows you to turn down the heat on those warmer Sunshine Coast nights by operating without the fans on and the option to turn down the flame height or operate on only the front burners.

In addition, the 864CF 40K is visually appealing thanks to its top down and Ember-Glo lighting, as well as its tall dancing flames, creating the perfect focal point to enhance this already incredible living space. This unit also comes with a 6-speed quiet blower system, allowing you to control the convection heat output, while the included ceramic glass enhances the radiant heat. Given its high heat output, safety is a top priority, which is why all of our gas fireplaces include a Clear Fire Safety Screen—a mesh screen positioned 25mm from the glass to prevent contact with hot surfaces without obstructing the view.

The Lopi 864CF 40K GS2 is equipped with our GreenSmart 2® (GS2) system, providing full control via the included remote. With the GS2 system, you can adjust the gas output across six levels to control flame intensity. The system also features a Smart Thermostat function, which modulates the flame to maintain your desired temperature. In addition, you can control the fireplace’s visual features by adjusting the top-down accent lighting across six intervals and toggling the Ember-Glo lighting on or off. There are several options available for the rear fireback liner, this install also includes our straight brick fireback liner, further enhancing the traditional aesthetic of this unit.

The 864CF 40K GS2 is available in either Natural Gas or LPG (Bottled Gas) configurations, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an efficient, traditional gas fireplace equipped with advanced technologies.

The post Coastal Retreat Featuring the Lopi 864CF 40K GS2 Gas Fireplace appeared first on Completehome.

Encased in natural marble by Deemah Stone and enhanced with Venetian plaster, the fireplace is not just a functional element but an architectural statement. The natural veining of the marble adds a rich texture to the room, while the smooth, refined finish of the Venetian plaster creates a luxurious backdrop that perfectly complements the fireplace’s sleek design.

The living room of this beautiful home features a double-height ceiling, complete with a void that opens to the upper level, making the 6015HO GS2 gas fireplace’s impressive heat output of up to 260 sqm the ideal heating solution for this expansive open space.

This installation also includes our CoolSmart Wall Kit System, which allows you to safely install a TV above the fireplace. The CoolSmart Wall Kit redirects the heat when the fans are off, allowing the natural rise to move through the ventilation behind the TV and expelling it out of the CoolSmart Vent above the TV. This reduces any direct heat exposure onto the sensitive electronics in the TV.

The 6015HO GS2 comes with our GreenSmart 2® (GS2) System, giving you complete control over your fireplace. You can control the heat output by adjusting the flame height and fan speed over six intervals, as well as controlling the visual elements, such as the under-floor lighting, which can also be adjusted over six levels. The GS2 system allows you to operate the fireplace in thermostat mode, which automatically stops the gas output once the room reaches your desired temperature. Alternatively, you can use the smart thermostat setting, which modulates the flame to maintain a consistent room temperature as set on the remote.

Additional features of this installation include our platinum glass floor media that allows the under-floor lighting to shine brightly through, and a black glass fire back liner that adds visual depth by reflecting the tall, dancing flames and a 50mm black trim that complements the dark accents of the living room, like the TV and surrounding furniture. It also features our Clear Fire Safety Screen, a mesh screen that sits 25mm off the glass, providing an extra layer of safety to avoid injuries from touching the glass without compromising the view of the fire, included on all Lopi fireplaces.

With a vision to create a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for hosting guests or creating family memories, the homeowners decided it was time to renovate and extend their living space by removing various walls and reconfiguring the layout. An extension was also built to expand the available space, complete with large sliding doors for increased natural lighting. Included in this remarkable renovation is the Lopi 4415HO GS2 linear gas fireplace.

The 4415HO GS2 is part of our premium linear gas fireplace series, equipped with advanced technologies and luxury features to suit any modern home’s aesthetic. The fireplace is clad in an Elephant Grey waxed plaster finish, creating a luxurious marble effect that complements the elegance of the fireplace.

The dark surrounding wall allows the tall flames to truly stand out, creating a captivating focal point for the entire living space. Additionally, the 4415HO GS2 is a high heat output unit, capable of heating up to 195 sqm with ease thanks to the fitted ceramic glass and six-speed quiet fans, making it the perfect solution for open floor plan spaces like this one.

The 4415HO GS2 is equipped with our GreenSmart 2® (GS2) System, allowing you to take full control of your fireplace. You can adjust the heat output and control the visual features, including the under-floor lighting, which can be increased or decreased over six intervals.

Our GS2 system also allows you to operate the fireplace on a thermostat setting, which will stop the gas output once the room temperature reaches the set temperature. It can also operate the fireplace on a smart thermostat setting, which will modulate the flame to keep the room temperature consistent to the temperature set on the remote.

Additional features of this installation include our platinum glass floor media, which allows the under-floor lighting to shine brightly through; a black glass fire back liner, which creates further visual depth by reflecting the tall, dancing flames and a 50mm black trim to match the dark accents of the living room, such as the TV, sound bar, sliding stacker doors and furniture.

The installation also includes our Driftwood Log Fyre-Art, a modern, art-inspired log that accentuates the luxury design of the 4415HO GS2, and our Clear Fire Safety Screen, a mesh screen that sits 25mm off the glass, providing an extra layer of safety to avoid injuries from touching the glass without compromising the view of the fire, included on all Lopi fireplaces.

The post Fireplace Inspiration at Ermington, NSW appeared first on Completehome.

The recent introduction of three newly updated Lopi freestanding wood heater models – Lopi Answer, Endeavor & Liberty 2020 has proved very popular. Each of these models features long overnight burn times, high efficiency, low emissions, GreenStart® Ignition and fan options and large viewing areas with the same USA built quality Lopi is renowned for. The Endeavor and Liberty models feature easy-glide ash pans to make cleaning of your Lopi wood heater easier than before!

The large range of Lopi gas fireplace models is more popular than ever, with the range offering products for existing brick chimneys, newly built-in fireplaces as well as freestanding options.

The number of ‘clean face’ gas fireplaces that are now available in the range offers clean lines that allow maximum viewing area without vents or bulking trims and surrounds. These fireplaces are available in traditional ‘squarer format’ designs or linear designs all of which are suitable for positioning large TV’s above.

The range of linear gas fireplaces available consists of 7 models ranging from approximately 1 metre wide to over 1.9 metres wide. Some models are also regarded as ‘high heat output’ and capable of heating areas up to 250 square metres.

All Lopi gas fireplaces are ‘natural draft’ direct vent gas fireplaces that naturally take their air from outside of the home and exhaust those nasty gases back outside, removing the need for an exhaust fan and power. The range features powerful convection fans to blow warm air throughout a home. These fans are independent of the flame, the fans can be switch off completely when required to enjoy quiet radiant heat which is especially useful when listening to music or watching television!
