Visbeen Architects

Grand Rapids, Michigan

The design we ultimately chose for the space was the Napoleon Allure Phantom 60 with a traditional surround. By adding an elegant, custom-designed surround, as we have done here, the unit looks more integrated with the room.

We have plantation shutters, a Visual Comfort light fixture designed by Kate Spade, as well as woven materials in this space that all play well in a classic genre.

Stylish Fireplaces & Interiors

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The clients were moving into a new-build townhouse on the lake. They wanted a feature wall with fireplace and TV on each of three levels. Based on the size of the TVs being installed, we specified the Dimplex XLF74 74-inch wide linear fireplace with driftwood kit.

In our showroom, they had seen the Impex metal wall panels and wanted them for this space. For the TV recess, we had our cabinetmakers create a black box that the contractors incorporated into the wall. The speaker bar and cable box sit at the bottom of the TV niche, while cables and wires run behind the niche.

Krella Gas Fireplaces

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

This project was installed in a high-end condominium lobby in order to provide owners and guests a sense of warmth, gathering, and community when they get home. The inspiration for the design was actually two-part. We knew we needed an electric fireplace due to the space and the constraints on gas lines and real fire in the lobby, and chose the Napoleon Alluravision 60 Deep Depth.

So our first goal was to make it look like a gas fireplace and as premium as possible, thus the marble tile surround. Second, we had to cover a few unsightly spots where damage existed on the wall and ceiling. Therefore, we built up the premium surround to go from floor to ceiling.

Stylish Fireplaces & Interiors

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This client had a builder’s gas fireplace between two windows. She wanted to update the look and replace gas with electric. We worked with a local cabinetmaker.

We had the gas fireplace removed, repaired the floor, and put up a wall-mounted Amantii WM-BI-34-4423 electric fireplace with custom picture frame to camouflage the sides and highlight the backlighting. We lined the bottom of the frame with tempered glass, to deflect some of the heat from the painted surface of the frame.

The clients were renovating their family room and wanted to add a fireplace feature wall. We specified the Sierra Flame WM-FML-72-7823 for its size and backlighting. We also liked the fact that the metal faceplate eliminated any reflections from the window on the opposite wall. Behind the fireplace, we selected Erthcoverings Silver Fox Strips, installed vertically, for texture and interest with a modern twist.

Fireside Supply Inc.

Hebron, Connecticut

This electric frankenstove was the outcome of a couple that came into our showroom one fall looking for a nonoperational wood stove that they could install into their 1700’s historical home in Tolland, Connecticut. They did not have a functional chimney so they only wanted the stove to look and fit the feel for the period of the home. After showing them around some old Vermont Castings stoves that we had removed over the years, they settled on the Vermont Castings Defiant 1. We started to entertain electric log sets to authenticate the look inside the firebox.

We had an Dimplex Opti-myst log insert on the floor so we looked at inserting the log set into the Defiant for authenticity. I started by gutting the Defiant of any cast parts that could be removed to make as much room as possible to fit the log set. It fit wonderfully with a few minor alterations. Next we painted the stove and delivered and installed it in their home. It fit the look and space perfectly and they loved the final product. Maybe this could be a good use of the older VC wood stoves as opposed to scrapping them and losing them to history.
