The heater is treated as a monolith: a single rendered volume, with no cornice or set-back, rising from floor to ceiling and reading as a pale section of wall in the middle of the room.

The rectangular glazed firebox is set in the lower section. On the left, a log niche is hollowed into the plinth, to the same depth as the mass: the store of logs is part of the design rather than cluttering it.

The top shelf of the plinth, at console height, serves as a warm surface to set things on. Built in 2015.
