1. Ruvigny Gardens

Architect: Syte Architects and Oliver Barsoum, Location: England, United Kingdom

From the architect: "The brief was to create comfortable, warm space for living, and to avoid a cold, clinical aesthetic. This was achieved by carefully choosing a complementary palette of materials, such as brick, glass, and timber."

2. Zen Light

Architect: Barrett Studio Architects, Location: Boulder, Colorado

From the architect: "Zen Light is a home that reflects the balance of the individuals who inhabit it. Yin and yang counter-folded gestures are repeated at different scales throughout—notice the roofline, the kitchen island, and the fireplace as examples. It is a house that balances warm and cool tones, metal and wood, architecture and landscape."

3. Caney Fork Cabin

Architect: Ryan Thewes Architect, Location: Lancaster, Tennessee

From the architect: "This modern weekend cabin was designed for a couple along the Caney Fork River in Tennessee. By raising the living area slightly higher, we were able to capture views of the river. The clients were very interested in green design and off-grid living. The house utilizes many reclaimed materials, such as the metal siding, some interior wood features, and repurposed insulation in the walls." In addition to the living room, the home's screened porch also has a suspended fireplace.

Eva Solo FireGlobe Fireplace
Nothing is cosier than gathering around a bonfire with its beautiful flames and intense heat, and with the decorative FireGlobe fireplace, it is easy and safe to light a fire directly on the patio or elsewhere in the garden.
EcoSmart Fire Igloo Fireplace
The cool way to warm up contemporary interiors. The distinctive design of the EcoSmart Fire Igloo Fireplace includes a bioethanol burner in a brushed stainless steel shelf that appears to be floating in mid-air.

4. Columbine Residence

Architect: BLDG.Collective Architecture + Design, Location: Denver, Colorado

From the builder: "A remodel of an 1890s Victorian in Denver creates an open plan with a new kitchen that combines a fresh, modern palette with an ode to the richness and beauty of the older architecture."
