Embracing Nature’s Elegance: Ambiente Sedona

Nestled in the red rocks of Arizona, Ambiente Sedona is a sanctuary that invites guests to immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty and spiritual essence of the region. This resort style hotel has been meticulously designed to offer a seamless blend of modern luxury and natural splendor, ensuring a year-round connection to Sedona’s enchanting atmosphere. A key feature that enhances this year-round experience is the integration of the outdoor and indoor spaces.

When thinking of desert landscapes, one often imagines hot temperatures, but that’s not always the case. From fall to spring, temperatures in Sedona can drop drastically, leaving many seeking warmth. To encourage year-round enjoyment of its stunning outdoor spaces, Ambiente Sedona partnered with Bromic to ensure guest comfortability. Bromic’s design team collaborated with Ambiente to strategically place heaters that seamlessly blend into the architecture, enhancing both comfort and ambiance in the hotel’s outdoor areas.

Design Inspiration and Harmony

The design philosophy at Ambiente Sedona marries mordern architecture with the surrounding desert landscape of Sedona. With the vast desert and red rocks surrounding the area, it is important to integrate the design into the landscape itself. As Jennifer May, co-owner of Ambiente, notes, “Our design aesthetic at Ambiente embodies a fusion of Modern Minimalism with Nature as its muse. We sought sleek, contemporary elements that seamlessly melded with the surrounding natural beauty.” The search was on to find a heating solution that was not only powerful enough to combat the cold desert temperatures but also aesthetically pleasing. When it came to choosing outdoor heating solutions, Bromic was the natural choice.

Bromic’s sleek, contemporary heaters seamlessly integrate with Ambiente’s design aesthetic, enhancing the overall visual appeal while providing exceptional functionality. The sophisticated designs of Bromic heaters complement the hotel’s modern elements, maintaining the harmony between built environments and nature. Eclipse heaters were installed in the main communal areas for guests to enjoy the outdoors as they sipped on beverages or after a dip in their pool area.

Thoughtful Layout for Optimal Comfort

Ambiente’s layout strikes a harmonious balance between private sanctuaries and communal hubs, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Bromic’s Eclipse heaters are installed over cozy couches and near inviting firepits, creating intimate settings where guests can relax and reflect. These heaters also border communal areas, ensuring warmth is evenly distributed, making every corner of the outdoor space comfortable and inviting, whether guests seek solitude or wish to connect with fellow travelers.

Throughout the resort, Tungsten heaters are strategically placed on the patio decks of guests’ private quarters, ensuring privacy and comfort. Additionally, these heaters are installed in areas where employees may be standing outside for long periods, providing warmth and comfort to the staff exposed to colder elements. As May adds, “Bromic’s commitment to enhancing outdoor experiences aligns perfectly with our ethos, making it the perfect choice for Ambiente.”

Integration and Installation – The Plan.

Building a new construction project like Ambiente Sedona presented unique opportunities to seamlessly integrate modern appliances into its resort. By planning and working closely with Bromic’s design team, the hotel had a tailored installation plan. Ambiente was able to consult with Bromic and voice their concerns and specific needs. Heat plans were drafted from Bromic’s design team to show placement and the heat blooms of both the Eclipse heaters and Tungsten heaters. Ensuring that each outdoor area of the resort was optimized for guests and their comfort.

As the resort continues to grow in popularity, plans are already underway to add more heaters, ensuring every guest enjoys a warm and comfortable stay. The installation process of Bromic heaters was seamless, Bromic’s team collaborated with Ambiente’s electrician to ensure the heaters were installed properly before the hotel’s grand opening. This careful coordination ensured that everything was in place to have a warm welcome for guests. The smooth integration of these heaters reflects the thoughtful planning and execution that went into every aspect of Ambiente’s design.

Eclipse Electric and Tungsten Electric at Pink Hill Hotel

Located in Beaconsfield, Australia, lies Pink Hill Hotel, a newly constructed live entertainment venue and local pub where you can catch-up with friends over cocktails, dine on modern Australian food, see the latest bands, or watch your favorite live sports. Complete with a variety of different new function rooms and outdoor terraces, the Pink Hill Hotel is the ultimate destination for parties, special occasions or a simple night out.

To enhance the experience for visitors and allow for the enjoyment of the outdoor spaces during the colder months, the pub sought out a heating solution that wouldn’t compromise the unique ambiance, but instead, add to it. To accomplish this, they reached out to Bromic’s Heating Experts for a thoughtful and efficient heat layout across their space. Given the large space and different rooms with varying functionalities, both the Tungsten and Eclipse Electric heaters were specified.

After evaluation of the spaces’ plans and images, Matt Kelman, Commercial Sales Manager at Bromic recommended the Eclipse Smart-Heat™ Electric and Tungsten Smart-HeatTM Electric outdoor heaters as the most efficient solutions.

Matt Kelman, Commercial Sales Manager of Bromic’s Australian office, explains the process and thought that went into their decision, “the site offered several challenges – high ceilings, operable ceilings where we could only use certain parts of the structure and angling heat towards the patrons and feature walls that heaters could not impact patrons views of.” Kelman continues, “the Eclipse Pendant was chosen for the higher fixed ceiling area – This unit could be positioned above patrons and provide a heating and light solution. The smaller sized Eclipse Pendant also did not affect the views of the feature wall.”

For more of an industrial feel, the Tungsten Electric heaters were installed, providing high heat output across the larger space. Due to the high ceilings, the 3 ft (1200mm) installation pole was recommended, suspending the heaters down within clearance to provide proper heat to the space.

In the more contemporary spaces of the pub, such as the modern dining area, the Eclipse Electric heaters were installed, providing dual-functioning heat and light for spot heating over tables, providing the ultimate in comfort and ambiance. Like the spaces where the Tungsten Electric heaters are installed, the Eclipse 24-inch (600mm) Twin Pole and a custom fabricated pole were used to ceiling mount the Eclipse Heaters for optimal heat output.

With the built-in Eclipse Dimmer Controller, setting the mood and comfort level, creating a unique experience for every guest, is as easy as the click of a button. The staff can choose from three built-in heat and light presets, ultimately providing the right amount of heat and ambiance for every guest’s specific needs.

Kelman concludes that, “in the area with the operable roof, a heater was needed that could provide a heat that would work in Melbourne’s winter and that could be positioned on structural beams and angled towards patrons – this was why the Tungsten Electric was chosen.”

Desert Mirage: Blurring the Lines Between Home and Nature

Situated in the vast Sonoran Desert of Arizona lies the city of Scottsdale, framed by the grand McDowell Mountains. This luxe city is known for its spa resorts and golf courses, serving as an inspiring backdrop influencing much of the region’s architectural landscape.

As seen on Dwell, The Modern Sunset House, a collaborative project by AFT Construction, Cosan Studio, and Alisha Taylor Interiors, pays homage to Arizona’s Desert landscape by blending architecture and nature from indoor to outdoor spaces. Featuring the Bromic Eclipse heater, this design ensures that exterior spaces remain inviting and functional throughout the year.

“We really wanted to bring the outside in and maximize space,” explains Bradley Leavitt, founder of AFT Construction. “The clients are here throughout fall, winter, and spring and they entertain frequently and spend a lot of time outside.”

Bradley Leavitt, founder of AFT Construction, highlights the aim of integrating the outdoors into the living experience, catering to the clients’ penchant for outdoor living and entertainment. The design centers around creating expansive living areas both indoors and outdoors, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and city lights.

The Eclipse Smart-Heat Electric Portable heater was chosen for its style and functional flexibility, seamlessly blending with the home’s modern aesthetic. Its sleek design and integrated dimmable LED light provide warmth and ambiance, enhancing outdoor gatherings during colder nights.

“The residents wanted convenience and luxury,” says Leavitt. “They absolutely love the Bromic Eclipse—it’s one of their favorite features. Now, they can sit out late into the evening with friends and family and optimize the outdoor seating for long into the evening. They have been using it every night!”

The Eclipse’s flexibility allows for easy relocation across the patio, complementing other outdoor features like fire pits and linear fireplaces. Using infrared heat, its innovative heat technology ensures optimal performance and efficiency, extending the usability of outdoor spaces.

“The Smart-Heat Electric Portable heater offers warmth and light during the cold winter months, and the sleek style matches the modern architecture,” says Leavitt. “The ability to adjust and easily move it makes it convenient, and the added light function means it’s possible to create a customized ambiance when entertaining.”

Large expanses of glazing and glass hallways invite the desert landscape indoors, creating a dynamic interplay between nature and architecture that evolves with the changing seasons. The Bromic Eclipse heater emerges as a beloved feature, providing comfort and luxury for the residents as they enjoy evenings with loved ones under the desert sky.
