Plainfield, Mass.

This fireplace is the centerpiece of the family room and incorporates antique brick, salvaged from the building and soapstone lintel and hearth. Its insulated Rumford firebox keeps the room toasty, as well as cheery.

Stamford, Vermont.

This fireplace is a Morrocan design for art conservator friends. We custom cut natural quartzite and used it as a thin veneer.

Eastham, Mass.

The owners had a smoky fireplace they were unhappy with. We removed it and installed this one using principles derived from fluid dynamic experiments done by British physicist, Peter Rosin in the '30's. No more smoke. Just more heat.

South Williamstown.  Part 1

The owners wanted their stone fireplaces to be the centerpiece of their addition, so we hand picked the 1,300 pound lintel and 800 lb jamb stones for the ballroom fireplace at the quarry. We replicated this detail in the bedroom fireplace at 2/3 scale. This project required 27 tons of granite. Joint size is no greater that 1/4".

Windsor, Mass.

The owners wanted an exterior fireplace until we explained the virtue of keeping the mass inside the building envelope, both aesthetically and functionally. This Rumford style fireplace uses stone from Skyline Quarry in CT. Local Ashfield stone was used for the lintel and hearth. Rock climbing, anyone?
