What Houzz contributors are saying:
Miniature. Bigger isn't always better. The small nature of this freestanding fireplace complements this room very well, especially with the overextended flue. This size tends to work best when you don't need to heat the entire room.Tip: Just because it's freestanding doesn't mean you can't have built-in seating. Search for a fireplace that has a bench for those chilly nights.
It's worth pointing out that passive daylighting is a means toward passive cooling (considering the light entering is not too direct, so it doesn't lead to heat gain). Every light turned off during the day cuts down on the cooling that would have been required to offset its heat.The BK House's tall spaces also help to ventilate warm air. Here we can see an operable vent in the translucent panels at the top of the living space.

Floor is polished concrete with bluestone aggregate - love it! Also notice the ample windows for "passive daylight" - less to cool if one doesn't have to have too much electrical light during the day.
