Trondheim fireplace






Given a very limited budget, reusing leftover materials (from a nearby construction site) was a starting point that led the
design to be based on short wooden pieces. Inspired by the Norwegi an turf huts and old log construction, a 5,2x4,5 meters wooden construction was built and mounted on a lighted and brushed concrete base. The structure is made of 80-layered
circles. The circles have varied radiuses and relative centre
point in relation to each other. Every circle is made out of 28
pieces of naturally impregnated core of pine that are placed with varied spaces to assure chimney effect and natural light.
Oak separators differentiate vertically between the pine pieces to assure airflow allowing easy drying of the pine pieces.
A double curved sliding door was designed for locking the structure.
