2021 Design Competition Grand Prize Winner featuring the Spark Linear Burner System Indoor

Project: Tango House

Architect: Carol Kurth Architects, PC

Location: Greenwich, Connecticut

Spark’s leading-edge linear fireplace is so customizable that gas fire becomes the ultimate designer’s tool. Create the perfect firescape for your design style by experimenting with different sizes, flame lengths, and views. And, because this versatile modular system is retro-fit ready, it can fit right into an existing firebox to transform your wood-burning fireplace into a sleek modern gas fireplace. Spark Modern Fires is a powerful asset to the contemporary architect and designer like Carol Kurth.

“A mix of forms and materiality are reflected in the architecture of Tango House, while imbuing a cohesive thread of design throughout the exterior and interior of the home. A continuous visual link is created by the concrete axial wall that extends from the exterior to the front entry, through the great room and beyond – thus creating the dramatic counterpoint for the central fireplace feature for the home. A linear 8’ SPARK LBS was recessed into the concrete wall above a cantilevered “floating” concrete hearth. The fireplace is surrounded with backlit slabs of Black Fantasy (leatherized) quartzite with eroded edges accenting the organic veining, and creates a dramatic contrast to the dancing flames of the fireplace. This striking project features our philosophy of “architecture as a backdrop for living” and “interiors as an inspiration for lifestyle” states Carol Kurth, Principal Architect.
