Hole-in-the-Wall Linear Gas Fireplace with Steel Side Panels
Bespoke side panels extend the overall width and visual presence of the fireplace, turning the fire itself into a broader wall feature rather than a simple opening. In this example, the side panels are finished in hot-rolled steel, also known as blue steel, adding texture and tonal variation to the surrounding design. The same concept can also be produced in a wide range of alternative finishes, including brushed bronze and aged brass, allowing the fireplace to be tailored to the material palette of the room.
Shown here as a gas fire, the design can also be developed as a bioethanol fireplace where gas or a suitable flue arrangement is not available. Its restrained linear form and custom metal detailing make it particularly well suited to modern interiors, including bedrooms and wider bedroom suite schemes where a fireplace can add warmth, atmosphere and a strong visual focus.

FAQ’s
A wall fireplace is a fire integrated into or mounted onto a wall, often as part of a feature wall or media unit. At Modus Fireplaces, these are designed as architectural elements, carefully proportioned and aligned with the overall interior. Our contemporary wall fireplaces can be designed as gas fires, bioethanol or wood fires
Yes. Many wall fireplaces do not require a traditional chimney. Modern gas, and bioethanol systems allow for flexible installation in apartments, new builds, and contemporary interiors, provided they are correctly specified and without the need for a chimney
Yes. Wall fireplaces are particularly suited to modern interiors, offering a clean, minimal aesthetic while integrating seamlessly with joinery, media walls, and open-plan spaces. When designed well, they enhance both function and spatial flow
In principle yes. But it needs to be done correctly and in such a way that the heat transfer to the TV is minimised. At Modus Fireplaces we are well versed in designing fireplaces for media wall to ensure there are no long term issues affecting the TV





Architectural fireplaces, designed without precedent
If you can conceive it, we can deliver it. That is what Modus does best. Working closely with our in-house design team, and in collaboration with Europe's leading manufacturers, we develop fireplaces that respond precisely to the architecture, materiality, and intent of each project. The result is a fireplace tailor-made for its setting, and for no other.
Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.
Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.
We work as an extension of the project team, from concept through to commissioning, so the fireplace sits within the architecture rather than against it.
