Northcote

As part of Northcote’s expansion and redesign – including the creation of new Garden Lodge Suites, a refreshed reception, and bar areas – the project needed fireplaces that felt both contemporary and a natural fit for the space. The challenge was to deliver solutions that:

• Worked with each space’s individual character and layout
• Added warmth and visual interest without overpowering the space
• Met the practical needs of a hospitality environment
• Blended seamlessly with finishes chosen by the interior design team

Working alongside the design and development team, we supplied and installed a mix of contemporary electric and bespoke solid-fuel solutions.

Guest suites fire installations

Each of the Garden Lodge Suites, including seven junior suites and a master suite, had a contemporary electric fire installed. These were carefully finished with either a tailored stone hearth or a sectional border – depending on the room’s interior design and proportions.

Reception area feature fireplace

In the main reception space, we installed a built-in, black glass wood-burning cassette fire. A steel liner was used as part of the installation, and the final finish included a striking stone and tile chimney breast. To balance and frame the feature, we also created floor-to-ceiling log stores on either side of the fireplace.
