I am looking for a modern or contemporary fireplace for a new home we are building. As a little background, I have owned a Fireplace Xtrordinair 44 elite for nearly 20 years and absolutely love it, I love the look of the flame, the powered fan, and the craftsmanship. I am in the process of designing a new house and was planning on getting another one, but the look of the FPX just doesn't fit with the more contemporary style of the new house. The radius top would be such a distraction to what would otherwise be a focal point of the house. Does anyone know of a fireplace that is much wider and has a contemporary (rectangle and simplistic) look? I like the look of the Renaissance Fireplace Rumford RL50, and the Valcourt FP16 St-Laurent, but have no experience with either. The home will be 2,500-3000 sf single level, located in Eastern Washington, and used on most weekends and holidays. If anyone has a recommendation for a large linear quality fireplace, I would appreciate it.
Now for the kicker...I will also need an outdoor fireplace that would need to look similar as the two will be about 10' apart, and visible at the same time (imagine a 25' wide floor to roof stone surround with a window between the two fireplaces). So if the same fireplace could be used in an indoor as well as an outdoor covered setting, that would be great.
Thanks for any help.
