This house features a glassy connection to the outdoors, with the pitched roof lifting toward the expansive views. Anchoring the living space is a freestanding alcove, surrounded by glass, creating an inglenook for the 6ft direct vent SPARK fireplace. This alcove is mirrored on the opposite side with folding doors to the outside. The horizontal proportions of the Spark fireplace extend the fireplace across the alcove. A hearth of bluestone is also the full width of the alcove, providing additional warm seating space. Burnished steel frames the fireplace opening, while cabinetry completes the alcove and hides the TV. The result is a focus of warmth for family and friends which is visible from the entire space. Practicable on a tight budget; with an accessible internal flow (we're not getting any younger); and Designed to strongly invite and reflect the agricultural land and building types around us. Understanding the need for a quick – and beautiful - way to warm us upon arrival on cold winter days lead us naturally to Spark Modern Fires.

This fireplace is one of two Spark’s, Linear Burner Systems used in two different rooms in the same project, a private residence in the greater Boston area. I used different materials in each fireplace to give each room its own unique charger. In the Living Room, the idea was to have a focal point that drew your attention, even if fireplace was not in use, so I used back lit, onyx panels to highlight that end of the room. In the Dining Room, the fireplace would only be in use when eating, so it required a different emphasis. Here, the fireplace was raised to above table height so it was clearly visible to all sitting at the dining room table, even across the 15\' long table.
