Stone Fireplace with Flanking Built-Ins

Western North Carolina

Stone Fireplace with Flanking Built-Ins

The cabinetry was built to the opening on each side of the stone, with scribes taking up the irregularity of the masonry.

Shelving is solid hardwood with integrated lighting run before the faces were installed.

The finished wall reads as a single piece of millwork wrapping the fireplace.

Scope

  • Built-in cabinetry
  • Floating shelving
  • Integrated lighting
  • Fireplace millwork

Details worth looking at

Scribed to the stone

The woodwork is fitted against irregular stone, so the built-ins land level while following the masonry line.

Symmetry across the wall

Flanking cases are proportioned so both sides of the fireplace read equal from the room.

Shelving in proportion

Shelf spacing and thickness are set against the height of the surround rather than a standard dimension.
