Bespoke Open-Front Gas Fireplace Media Wall

Designed as part of a complete penthouse renovation, this bespoke open-fronted fireplace is integrated into a custom-built media wall. Rather than treating the fireplace, television and surrounding joinery as separate features, each element has been designed together to create a clean and balanced composition across the wall.

The fireplace is framed in hand-finished blue steel, selected for its natural tonal variation, subtle markings and distinctive surface texture. The dark metalwork gives the fireplace depth and definition while providing a strong contrast with the surrounding joinery.

Shown here as a gas fire, the large burner is dressed with a carefully arranged combination of realistic ceramic logs and coal. This creates a natural-looking fire bed and a lively flame, bringing warmth and atmosphere to the contemporary interior. The fireplace can also be designed as a bioethanol fire where a gas supply or conventional flue arrangement is not suitable.

A recessed television is positioned above the fire beneath a custom-made canopy. The canopy has been finished in a specialist coating chosen to complement the blue steel fireplace surround and the wider material palette of the room. The result is a fully integrated feature wall in which the fireplace, television, metalwork and bespoke joinery form one complete design.

BESPOKE DESIGN

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.

01
Material Choices

Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.

02
Precision Engineering

Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.

03
Seamless Integration

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.
