This year we entered two of our favourite recent projects in the Masonry Heater Association of North America‘s annual contest. We submitted two entries in the Masonry Heater Design/Build category, and were so pleased to have won two awards as well as the People’s Choice award!

The Kachelofen that won First Prize and the People’s Choice Award was part of a major renovation built in a heritage home in midtown Toronto, Ontario. This was one of the largest and most complex designs that we’ve undertaken. In the end it required more than 370 pieces in total!

The Kachelofen that won Third Prize was by comparison much simpler and smaller, but no less beautiful in our eyes! The Heart Lake project was challenging because the client wanted a “raw terracotta” look. We ended up treating the unglazed Kacheln to offer protection from stains and dirt. We absolutely adore the matte finish result!
