Even before we broke ground on our new home we knew that we were going to be installing a SPARK fireplace. We had poured over countless designs, and portfolios and visited dozens of local fireplace shops and every time we saw a SPARK we instantly recognized it for its understated elegance. It had a gravitational pull for our design sensibilities because it was unmistakably SPARK. A must have for the modern home we were building. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Located in the center of our main floor living area, the 3ft Direct Vent Vu Thru commands a first, second and third look. You just can’t help but stare. It separates our formal indoor/outdoor living space and a cozy home office. It unassumingly provides the backdrop for a glass of wine at night, with our dog, Sparky (no relation I swear) always finding a way to nestle in tight, basking in the warmth that cascades from the flames. We chose to highlight the brightness of the SPARK's ribbon flame by choosing a black high shine, oversized square, Italian tile that swirls to invoke the likeness of a vinyl record. Very fitting as this is also the room in the home where all the vinyl is played. Capped with custom fabricated steel corners, the black fireplace column runs floor to ceiling and can be seen from virtually every other room in the house. They say the kitchen is the heart of the home, but in our home it truly is our SPARK. Model: Direct Vent Vu Thru 3 ft Designer: Jennifer Grundy Photographer: Steve Fuller

Rather than starting with an outcome in mind, this 1,400 square foot residence began from a polemic place - exploring shared conviction regarding the concentrated power of living with a smaller footprint. From the gabled silhouette to passive ventilation, the home captures the nostalgia for the past with the sustainable practices of the future. While the exterior materials contrast a calm, minimal palette with the sleek lines of the gabled silhouette, the interior spaces embody a playful, artistic spirit. From the hand painted De Gournay wallpaper in the master bath to the rugged texture of the over-grouted limestone and Portuguese cobblestones, the home is an experience that encapsulates the unexpected and the timeless.

A Spark fireplace is featured across from the bed. Spark's description of this gorgeous feature is better than anything I could ever write: "Magically transform any wall into a decorative niche with this wall mounted gas fireplace that hangs effortlessly, like a work of fine art. A minimalist’s dream, its reflective porcelain interior amplifies the flame’s beauty to create depth." Now that's a fireplace built for a master suite!
