Cigar Lounge | AirSmart Project

About the Project

Located within a private residence in Noosa, this purpose - built cigar lounge forms part of a dedicated bar and billiards space.

The brief was to create a controlled indoor environment that allows for cigar use without impacting adjacent living areas - while maintaining comfort, air quality and discretion within a high end residential setting.

Due to the private nature of the project, specific client details are not disclosed.

Key Challenges

Cigar lounges present a fundamentally different requirement to conventional HVAC systems.

Controlling smoke movement within a defined space
Preventing migration of odour and contaminants to adjoining areas
Maintaining comfortable conditions for occupants within an active smoking environment
Managing air change, extraction and make-up air as a coordinated system
Integrating all services within a residential architectural setting

Approach

AirSmart, working closely with Puros Environmental, adopted a systems-led - approach treating the space as a controlled environment rather than a c onditioned room.

The focus was on managing airflow direction, pressure and air quality as one coordinated
system.

Engineered controlled air movement to direct smoke away from occupants
Established pressure relationships to contain the environment with
in the room
Integrated supply, extraction and air quality management into a single strategy
Applied low velocity air delivery to avoid disturbance while maintaining control
Referenced specialist environmental design methodologies for cigar environments

Solution

A customised AirSmart Indoor Environment System was implemented to deliver controlled air movement and environmental stability.

Directional air distribution designed to guide smoke movement within the space
Coordinated extraction system removing contaminated air at source
Balanced make-up air ensuring stable pressure conditions
Low-velocity airflow maintaining comfort without spreading smoke
Integrated air quality management within the system
Discreet installation aligned with the bar and lounge environment

The system operates as a controlled environment - managing smoke, air quality and comfort simultaneously.

Key Outcomes

The system delivers a functional and controlled cigar environment within a residential setting.

Smoke contained within the designated space
No migration of odour to adjoining areas
Controlled air movement improving occupant comfort

Stable indoor conditions maintained during use
Discreet integration within a high - end residential interior
System aligned with specialist environmental control principles

Why It Matters

Spaces such as cigar lounges require more than ventilation - they require control.

This project demonstrates how airflow, pressure and air quality can be resolved as a single system, allowing specialised environments to operate effectively within residential buildings.

By applying principles aligned with specialist guidance, including Puros Environmental, the result is a space that performs as intended without compromising the wider home.
