Kozy Heat Fireplaces - Gas Insert: Chaska 29

If you need a gas fireplace insert that will provide plenty of warmth without dominating your living space, the Chaska 29 could be just what you're looking for. Benefiting from a compact design, this direct vent gas fireplace insert combines energy-efficiency and stunning performance with an attractive appearance and a size that's small enough for the coziest room. With ease, a professional installer can turn your wood-burning fireplace into a energy efficient gas insert fireplace that will fit effortlessly in the existing hole of your old masonry fireplace.

Techo-Bloc - Big Family, Cozy Backyard

The clients have an extended family that they entertain frequently. They needed a space large enough to accommodate family gatherings, but with intimate features that enabled interactions with small groups. Hence, the dining and bbq spaces are open and generous, while the sunken lounge and firepit areas feel enclosed and cozy. The transition from the large paved area to the two sunken features was key in unifying the three spaces. In the center of the space, the bubbling rock creates a playful focal point – who would expect a grouping of natural rocks and grasses in the middle of a formal Travertina patio? To blur the division of two mediums, the slabs were exploded to permit the rocks to push into the patio, creating an unlikely marriage that delights the eye. The result is a look that is clean and classic, and at the same time, free-form and casual.

The contours of the land around this 8,800 sq. ft. mountaintop home in eastern Pennsylvania’s Upper Saucon Township were an integral factor in its impressive design. Sixty miles north of Philadelphia, this affluent community is set in the rugged and scenic terrain of the Lehigh Valley, steeped in tradition and history that dates to the early 1700s.
