After living in her Sydney Hills district residence for over a year and a half, Erin knew it was time to make the space truly her own. With a clear vision to infuse the home with her unique style, she set her sights on creating an urban farmhouse aesthetic – one that balances rustic warmth with modern sophistication. Partnering with her team at Three Birds Renovations, Erin transformed the suburban property into a timeless yet modern family haven.
At the heart of the design is a spacious, open-plan layout that connects kitchen, dining, and living areas, fostering a sense of flow and connection. To further enhance the living space, Erin removed and relocated the old bathroom and laundry, freeing up room for a stunning textured stone feature wall. This focal point not only adds depth and character but perfectly frames the warmth and ambiance of the Lopi 864CF 40K GS2 gas fireplace – a statement piece that elevates the urban farmhouse inspired aesthetic while creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Erin wanted to install a TV flush against the wall above the fireplace – something that isn’t typically possible without adding a mantle or creating wall recesses. However, with Lopi’s CoolSmart Wall Kit system, she was able to achieve this seamlessly. The CoolSmart Wall Kit works by redirecting rising heat through ventilation pipes in the wall behind the TV, allowing hot convection air to be expelled through the CoolSmart Vent above the TV. This innovative system ensures that sensitive electronics remain protected, even when the fireplace is in use.
The timeless design of the 864 series was the perfect match for the urban farmhouse aesthetic Erin envisioned. The fireplace’s black trim provides a striking contrast to the home’s neutral and warm tones, drawing your gaze toward it and adding to the space’s appeal. This is further enhanced by the tall, elegant flames that create a stunning focal point. As part of Lopi’s premium gas fireplace series, the 864CF 40K GS2 also features top-down and Ember-Glo accent lighting, which highlights the fire’s beauty, enhances the cozy atmosphere, and adds to the lifelike realism of the log set.
Another standout feature of the Lopi 864CF 40K GS2 is its high heat output, capable of heating up to 185sqm. This makes it the perfect edition for this home, as it is still able to heat Erin’s expansive open-plan space even during the coldest months of the year.
As part of the Lopi premium series, the 864CF 40K is equipped with our GreenSmart 2 (GS2) system, allowing you to take full control of your fireplace by controlling the accent lighting and operating the unit on a Smart Thermostat setting, which will modulate the flame to ensure the room stays at a constant temperature, based on the temperature set.
With the impressive Lopi 864CF 40K GS2 as the statement piece, Erin’s living room has been transformed into a warm, elegant, and inviting space, perfect for cozy family nights or entertaining guests in style..
