Outdoor Fireplaces Design
A hearth that turns a patio into an outdoor room you use all year.
An outdoor fireplace gives a space a wall, a focal point, and a reason to linger long after the sun drops. FloraStone Studio designs fireplaces that feel architectural — sited and proportioned within the larger plan so they shelter the seating, anchor the room, and extend the Pacific Northwest season well into the cool months.
You see the fireplace in context — its stone, its hearth, and the gathering space it creates — in photorealistic 3D with detailed plans before any work begins, so the proportion and presence land exactly right.
Sited to shape the room
A fireplace is as much wall as fire. We place it to block prevailing wind, define an edge of the patio, and frame the view you want from your chair — sizing the firebox, hearth, and chimney so the whole piece feels architectural and intentional rather than oversized or tacked on.
Stone and finishes that endure
We specify masonry, natural stone, and veneers chosen for heat, weather, and the look you are after — coordinated with the surrounding paving, walls, and plantings so the fireplace reads as one piece of a cohesive whole, not a standalone object.
