Pedersen Associates It was added to the side of an existing garage. The base is concrete, steel, block and a masonry veneer and hearth. The bench backs are weathered copper.

Pedersen Associates We prepared design sketches for the fabricator: a talented local metal worker. Every fireplace opening is a little different and that affects what you can do with the door type and attachments. Contact us directly if you would like copies of the sketches.

Mary Grant Thank you. I really like how you can swing the doors back. Great idea!

what kind of stone is this? »

Pedersen Associates It's a stone quarried out of the Dakotas. Different suppliers name it different things...kind of a silly thing they do to protect their sources. Show the image to your masonry supplier and I'm sure it will be a different name than I have. It's available in thin veneer though this is all 6-7" thick.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Laura Gaskill to Cozy Outdoor Rooms Let You Snuggle Up to Fall

Use red to warm up your outdoor fireplace. An outdoor fireplace makes a natural gathering place in the fall and winter, but when it is unlit it can look a little bare. Add a few red hurricanes to the mantel or the ground, and striped or patterned pillows to the surrounding seating to create a look that emanates warmth.

added by Lisa Frederick to Give Your Hot-Climate Home a Fall Feel

This outdoor fireplace provides the sense of a hearth without heating up the house in steamy weather. S'mores, anyone?

added by Shane D. Inman to Extend Your Living Space With an Outdoor Fireplace

Significant seating. Ample seating built around the fireplace helps make use of an outdoor space on chilly nights.Tip: Put blankets or bench cushions on your hearth as a layer between bodies and the hard and chilly stone.
