Wood fire place placement

Hi - my query is probably pretty useless, but thought it can't hurt to ask the question.

We are designing an extension that has an entire southern wall (in lounge area) glass from ceiling to approx. knee height.

Running along from knee height will be built-in bench seats (the view is amazing from here BTW).

We are also interested in a fireplace along this wall somewhere. The designer we are using has great pics of an ethanol based fire placed along a bench seat - looks great, but I am worried they don't give our much heat?

My husband is still pining for a wood fireplace, but I can't see where it could go, without a big flu / chimney obstructing our glass framed view.


Thoughts anyone?
