Prompted by a recent question in MHA‘s email exchange about examp-les for simple oven design Eric Moshier and Stefan Polatschek recognized in-teresting similarity to some historic stove building design in Europes Alps, and finally got to the idea of rebuilding one specific stove design representing a whole landscape of historical mass heaters, both with plastered and cera-mic tile surface.

Commenting evolution of historical li-ving spaces and briefly showing variety of shape, techniques and local design influences we would like to bring the historical design into a nowadays tech-nique and necessities.

Actually some research is driven on that via the Tyrolean stove building guild in Austria, namely its boss Erich Moser, in cooperation with Innsbruck university.
