Ritz-Carlton Residence Lobby
Our recently completed Ritz-Carlton Residence Lobby features a dramatic 14-foot custom black marble fireplace. Upon entering the lobby, you are greeted by the centerpiece, which gently reminds you to relax and unwind. The striking fireplace stands out against the soft, neutral tones of the wood-paneled walls and stone floors. The incredible width creates an impactful design feature and helps guide the eye along the narrow lobby.

East Hampton Golf Club
The incredible fireplace featured in our East Hampton Golf Club creates a floor to ceiling statement. The custom piece, made of stone slab, is minimal and monolithic in its design. Its smooth blue-gray finish adds a sense of calm and serenity to the room and is a beautiful contrast against the brown leather upholstery. The piece divides the room into two cozy and elegant communal spaces perfect for socializing or relaxing after a round of golf.

Red Mountain
The custom corner fireplace in the bedroom of our Red Mountain project is a great example of how to address a spacial constraint creatively. Building the fireplace out from the corner is an excellent way to maximize space. This placement centers the firebox on the wall and creates a cozy spot for a chair and ottoman while being close enough to warm the bed. The room’s palette has been kept neutral, allowing for texture to create visual differences. The soft white stone of the mantle contributes to the warm and inviting ambiance of the bedroom.

Willoughby Way
The Willoughby Way project is nestled into the lush mountains of Aspen, Colorado. At the center of the living room, a mantle reaches up to the beams of the vaulted A-line ceiling. The design of the grand stone fireplace reflects the enormity of the peaks and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The fireplace functions as a dividing wall separating two communal areas: the living and dining rooms.

West Side Elegance
The fireplace in our charming Upper West Side apartment matches the traditional English style that is carried throughout the space. The fireplace and gilded mirror atop it form one show-stopping focal point in the grand living room. The Carrera marble mantle is perfect for grounding and balancing the decorative mirror. The mirror, in turn, brings brightness and levity to the space, expanding the space and accentuating the ceiling height.
