Decoflame BEV Fireplaces Elevating Coastal Luxury Living

The integration of Decoflame BEV bioethanol fireplaces within Drift Residences, Main Beach introduces a new benchmark in luxury coastal living and architectural fireplace design in Australia.

Located at 16–18 Hughes Avenue, this boutique high-rise development delivers a refined collection of premium residences designed to maximise light, space and ocean-facing views, redefining modern beachfront living on the Gold Coast .

Real Fire No Compromise Designed for Modern Architecture

Decoflame fireplaces provide a true real flame experience powered by advanced BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) technology, eliminating the need for:

  • Gas connections
  • Flues or chimneys
  • Complex ventilation systems

This enables complete architectural flexibility, allowing seamless integration into joinery, stone and feature walls — perfectly aligned with Drift’s design philosophy of clean lines and premium materiality.

Enhancing the Coastal Living Experience

Drift Residences has been designed as a wellness-focused, resort-style environment, combining expansive interiors with curated lifestyle amenities and a strong connection to its coastal setting .

Within this context, Decoflame fireplaces act as a luxury lifestyle feature, enhancing:

  • Open-plan living and entertaining spaces
  • Indoor-outdoor flow and ambience
  • Visual warmth in high-end coastal interiors

The result is a more immersive living environment, where fire becomes a central design element rather than a purely functional appliance.

Residential Performance & Luxury Heat

For private residences, Decoflame BEV fireplaces deliver:

  • Up to 20.5 hours burn time on a single refill
  • Consistent radiant heat output suited to premium apartments
  • Clean-burning operation with no smoke, soot or ash

This provides residents with a low-maintenance, high-performance heating solution that complements the architectural quality of the space.

Advanced Safety & BEV Technology

Decoflame’s patented BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) system represents one of the most advanced safety standards in the bioethanol category, featuring:

  • Controlled vapour combustion
  • Automatic ignition and fuel management
  • Integrated safety sensors and monitoring
  • No direct contact between liquid fuel and flame

This ensures a safe, stable and controlled real flame, suitable for both residential and high-end developments.

Designed for Premium Developments

Drift Residences, developed by GDI Group and designed in collaboration with Plus Architecture, has been conceived as a timeless coastal landmark, with a strong focus on natural materials, wellness and long-term livability .

Decoflame fireplaces complement this vision by offering:

  • Ventless installation for simplified construction
  • Seamless integration into bespoke interiors
  • Alignment with all-electric and net-zero design strategies
  • A premium upgrade feature for discerning buyers

A New Standard in Coastal Fireplace Design

The inclusion of Decoflame BEV fireplaces within Drift Residences reinforces a broader shift in Australian architecture towards:

  • Sustainable, clean-burning solutions
  • Flexible, design-led integration
  • Lifestyle-driven residential features

By combining real flame authenticity, advanced safety and architectural freedom, Decoflame delivers a fireplace solution ideally suited to the next generation of luxury developments.

Professional Reviews

1 / 4

“We installed a Decoflame fireplace as part of our home renovation and it has completely transformed the living space. The real flame creates a beautiful atmosphere, and the fact that it requires no gas connection or flue made the installation incredibly straightforward. The team guided us through the process from design to installation and the result is both functional and architectural.”
