Luxury Four-Sided Glass Island Fireplace

Commissioned for the entrance lounge at the prestigious White City Living development, this bespoke four-sided glass island fireplace creates a dramatic architectural centrepiece beneath the room’s five-metre-high ceiling.

The fully glass-enclosed island design allows the flame to be viewed from every angle, creating warmth, atmosphere and a strong visual connection throughout the space. Above, a suspended stone-clad canopy has been carefully proportioned to respond to the scale and volume of the interior, giving the fireplace a strong sculptural presence.

A low-level bespoke joinery base with a dark stone top grounds the composition, introducing a refined contrast of materials while providing a clean architectural platform for the fire.

The concept can be fully customised to suit a wide range of residential, hospitality and commercial interiors. Alternative canopy shapes, cladding materials, fireplace dimensions and open-fronted configurations can all be considered. Integrated media solutions, including a television incorporated within the overhead canopy, are also possible subject to the appropriate design, clearance and heat-management requirements.

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.
