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.

Material Choices

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

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.

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.
