Techo-Bloc - Euro Sophistication

This owner/designer of a trendy lux leatherwear company wanted to infuse his patio with a solid dose of opulence and French sophistication. Inspired by the chic checkerboard tiling of Parisian cafes, he chose a high-contrast theme to bring this space to life. Grand birdcage chandeliers were hung at varying heights to light up the space. Having a gifted eye for design, the homeowner opted for a red brick fireplace and outdoor kitchen, matching the home’s brickwork, to balance and tie in the dramatic flooring.

Our Spark fireplace is captured within a freestanding concrete portal, with integral lighting and an inset panel of native stone both inside and out. The solidity of the fireplace portal creates a warm and inviting inglenook — an anchor that contrasts with the glassy transparency of the tasting room.
