Residential Design Inspiration: Modern Central Fireplaces

Modern Fireplaces – A Central Focus for Design

For one of our current projects we are designing a modern central fireplace as the focus for the main living area. This idea doesn’t sound atypical for our designs; fireplaces in our homes are almost always a central focus for the living room. However, this one is a little different. We have designed this fireplace as a freestanding element in the center of the open plan, between the living room and dining room. Hence, “modern central fireplace.”

We have gone back and forth with our clients for how this central fireplace should be designed: more or less open, how does it touch the ceiling, what is the material surrounding the fireplace…? Below we are sharing some of the images we’ve used for inspiration along the way. To be honest, we haven’t finalized all of those design answers yet… but we’re looking forward to sharing our design solution with you soon!

The design process is always the best part! Enjoy!
