Small trendy open concept linoleum floor living room photo in Austin with gray walls, a ribbon fireplace, a metal fireplace and no tv

The focal point wall was carefully planned with a wide fireplace in the center and a beautiful, thick walnut floating bench in front of it and carrying all the way to the wall on the left- adding an unexpected asymmetry to the space. The left side mimics the walnut floating shelves to display the family’s photos and accessories. The entire fireplace wall is surrounded with a cream and beige, neutral tile laid in a horizontal brick pattern. The large flat screen is carefully inset framed above the fireplace and this wall has become a contemporary pop for this room and home; perfectly opposing the farmhouse kitchen on the opposite wall.

The living room features floor to ceiling windows with big views of the Cascades from Mt. Bachelor to Mt. Jefferson through the tops of tall pines and carved-out view corridors. The open feel is accentuated with steel I-beams supporting glulam beams, allowing the roof to float over clerestory windows on three sides. The massive stone fireplace acts as an anchor for the floating glulam treads accessing the lower floor. A steel channel hearth, mantel, and handrail all tie in together at the bottom of the stairs with the family room fireplace. A spiral duct flue allows the fireplace to stop short of the tongue and groove ceiling creating a tension and adding to the lightness of the roof plane.
