Completed in 2009 by Haugen & Zohar design team for their client Trondheim Municipality, this unique shape outdoor fireplace is designed exclusively for winter garden decorations. Together with the standard playground facilities they Trying to combine an enclosed space for fire, storytelling and playing. This outdoor design object has been inspired by Norwegian turf huts and presents itself as the structure 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. Old log construction, a 5,2×4,5 meters wooden construction was built and mounted on a lighted and brushed concrete base. A double curved sliding door was designed for locking the structure. Consume a very limited budget by reusing leftover materials was a starting point that led the design to be based on short wooden pieces, I think this is a very great sustainably design.
