The brief
The herringbone brick pattern is the key design detail. It creates movement and texture behind the stove, making the chamber feel bespoke and carefully planned.
The Parkray Aspect 5 has a clean contemporary face and large viewing glass, so it sits well against the patterned brick without the overall fireplace feeling too busy.
How the project came together
The beam above the opening softens the feature and gives the fireplace a familiar, homely proportion.
The finished result is warm, detailed and balanced — a modern multi fuel stove set into a chamber with real character.
