Contemporary Round Concrete Outdoor Gas Fire Pit
Designed as a calm centrepiece for luxury terraces, landscaped gardens and contemporary courtyards, the fire pit introduces warmth and atmosphere without overwhelming the surrounding space. Its soft proportions and refined concrete finish allow it to sit naturally within both modern and more traditional exterior schemes.
The controlled central flame creates a natural gathering point for relaxed evenings and outdoor entertaining, providing visual focus and gentle warmth while preserving the clean, understated character of the design.
Available in a range of sizes, colours and finishes, the fire pit can be tailored to complement the surrounding architecture, landscaping and outdoor furniture.
Key features
2. Sculpted concave surface around the flame
3. Low-profile architectural design
4. Available in a range of sizes and finishes
5. Bespoke colours and specifications available
FAQ’s
A fire pit is a freestanding fire feature, designed to sit as a focal point within a terrace or garden. A fire table is functionally similar, but integrated into a low table form, allowing the piece to serve as both a gathering point and, when fitted with a tabletop cover, a usable surface when the fire is not in use. A portable gas fire is a self-contained design fuelled by an LPG cylinder concealed within the body of the unit, allowing the piece to be repositioned freely without the need for a permanent gas connection.At Modus, the choice between formats is rarely about category alone. It is about how the fire feature relates to the wider scheme - the proportion of the space, the materials surrounding it, and the way the outdoor area is intended to be use
Yes. Gas-fuelled fire features are entirely legal in the UK, provided the appliance carries the correct UKCA or CE certification and is used in line with manufacturer guidance. They are particularly well suited to properties within Smoke Control Areas — which cover much of London and most major UK cities — where wood-burning fires are subject to strict restriction.LPG cylinders should be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated location, in accordance with HSE guidance. Where a permanent natural gas connection is preferred over a portable LPG-fuelled design, installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We coordinate certification, compliance, and installation as part of every Modus project
Yes, when correctly specified and properly maintained. The portable gas fire features we work with are engineered with high-performance burners, controlled ignition, and integrated cylinder housings designed to meet current UK and European safety standards. Unlike open wood fires, the flame is fully controllable, with no flying embers and no risk of unintended ignition from spark.As with any gas appliance, appropriate clearances from combustible materials, adequate ventilation, and routine maintenance remain essential. At Modus, we specify only proven systems and ensure each design is technically resolved for safe, reliable performance over the long term
Yes. A well-specified gas fire feature provides consistent, controllable warmth - sufficient to make a terrace or seating area genuinely usable well into autumn and winter. Heat output varies by burner specification and the scale of the design, and at Modus we balance output with visual presence so the fire performs in proportion to its setting.For larger or more exposed terraces, we often recommend considering the fire feature alongside the wider architecture of the space - pergola, shelter, planting, or seating layout - to retain ambient warmth and extend usability further still
In most cases, yes. Gas fire features burn cleanly, producing no smoke and no sparks, which makes them well suited to use beneath open and partially covered structures. Adequate overhead clearance, sufficient ventilation, and the use of non-combustible materials in the immediate surround are all essential considerations.Each setting is different, and the suitability of any installation depends on the specific architecture and ventilation of the space. We assess this as part of the consultation and feasibility stage, ensuring the chosen design is both safe in use and fully integrated with the surrounding environment.
Our outdoor wall fireplaces are engineered to perform in all weather conditions, making them a reliable source of warmth and atmosphere throughout the year. Gas models in particular offer consistent, ambient heat - extending the usability of terraces, gardens, and outdoor entertaining spaces well beyond the summer months.
Generally outdoor fireplaces don’t require planning permission - though nuances can apply subject to situation. Wall fires can be designed without the need for a flue
The heat output of an outdoor fire will vary depending on the fuel type, environment and positioning. When seated nearby, it provides a pleasant level of radiant warmth; however, it should not be relied upon as a primary heat source where consistent heat is a key requirement.





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.
