This fireplace is one of two Spark’s, Linear Burner Systems used in two different rooms in the same project, a private residence in the greater Boston area. I used different materials in each fireplace to give each room its own unique charger. In the Living Room, the idea was to have a focal point that drew your attention, even if fireplace was not in use, so I used back lit, onyx panels to highlight that end of the room. In the Dining Room, the fireplace would only be in use when eating, so it required a different emphasis. Here, the fireplace was raised to above table height so it was clearly visible to all sitting at the dining room table, even across the 15\' long table.
