Summerhouse Stone Fireplace
FIREPLACES
The idea for the stone fireplace came from wanting to create a stone monolith, something that resembled a single piece of stone from floor to ceiling, so we developed the design for a fireplace opening with a segmental arch and keystone over and allowing the stonework to continue with a taper to the intersection of the roof. We also allowed the oak rafters to pass and pocket into the stone, giving the appearance that the fireplace and chimneystack are a structural part of the roof.
The back of the hearth is constructed using purple handmade glazed bricks set in black mortar, laid in a herringbone pattern. The vision was to enable a roaring fire to be lit whilst enjoying the sunken spa pool at the centre of the room.
