This award winning modern fireplace is part of a condo design project in Sterling, VA. It received a merit award from Spark Modern Fires 2014 Site Specific 6 Design Competition ( https://sparkfires.com/site-specific-7/). When we started the fireplace wall was covered in an unsightly stone veneer. It was large and overwhelming in the small space. The client asked us to create a lighter, airier, more contemporary feeling space. We opened two niches in the wall to create a more open feeling and to unite the home office with the family room. A Spark Modern Fires 3' Vent Free View Thru fireplace aides in creating an more open feeling. The walls were given a soft blue/grey color from Benjamin Moore's new Color Stories collection. The color changes completely as the day goes on. The fireplace wall itself was given a faux marble paint treatment courtesy of Special FX Studios.
On the office side we wanted to provide as much storage as possible in this small space. We added a large, concealed built in with a custom made a door out of an art piece. We added an additional built in on the right side wall for additional office supply storage. Desk and bookcases are by Modloft.
