Bespoke Three-Sided Open Gas Fireplace with Floating Canopy

This bespoke three-sided gas fireplace features a fully open design, allowing the flames to be viewed clearly from the front and both sides. A cantilevered canopy appears to float above the fire, giving the fireplace a light, contemporary form while creating a strong architectural focal point within the room.

The real-flame gas burner is recessed flush into a Belgian bluestone-clad base and dressed with realistic ceramic logs and coal. The stone base extends beyond the width of the fireplace, strengthening the horizontal proportions of the installation and providing a substantial platform beneath the open fire.

A matt black back panel sits behind the burner, creating contrast and helping the movement and colour of the flames stand out more clearly. The combination of dark steel, blue-grey stone and the floating canopy gives the fireplace a clean, restrained appearance suited to modern interiors.

Shown here as a gas fire, the design can also be developed as a bioethanol fireplace where required. The dimensions, stone finish, canopy and internal detailing can all be tailored to suit the architecture and material palette of the project.

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.
