Bespoke gas fireplace designed as an integral architectural feature within a Surrey family home by Bell Lowry DesignSculptural gas fireplace integrated into the main living space of a contemporary Surrey residenceBespoke fireplace installation by Modus Fireplaces for a luxury Surrey family home with interior design by Bell Lowry Design

At Clearview, a Surrey family home by interior designer Bell Lowry Design, Modus Fireplaces designed and installed bespoke gas fireplaces across the main living spaces. Conceived as sculptural anchors within the interior, each fireplace was developed as an integral architectural feature, resolved in proportion, materiality, and performance.

01
The Brief

Create architectural focal points rather than purely functional heat sources

Integrate fireplaces seamlessly within a refined interior

Deliver two distinct designs, each tailored to its setting

Ensure cohesion with materials and spatial flow

02
The Solution

Two bespoke gas fireplaces were developed, each responding to its environment while maintaining a unified design language

Kitchen Living Space

A long linear gas fire forms a calm horizontal anchor within the open plan space

Softly curved plaster canopy introduces a sculptural quality

Linear flame enhances the sense of width and openness

Dekton clad joinery base grounds the design

Carefully balanced proportions

‍

Lounge Fireplace‍

The second fireplace offers a more expressive interpretation of a traditional form

Fluted arched fire chamber introduces texture and depth

Dekton mantel provides a refined finish

Contemporary take on a classic typology

Intimate and grounded feel

03
Design Approach

Each fireplace was designed as part of the architecture rather than added later. Working closely with the interior designer ensured alignment throughout, with careful attention given to scale, proportion and sightlines

04
Outcome

The result is a pair of fireplaces that feel intrinsic to the home, enhancing both the character of each space and the cohesion of the overall 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.
