A sketch from part way through the design of the fireplace

Before we drafted the final plans, we had to make sure we were on the same page with our clients. Design drawings like this are much more effective than just talking or looking at material samples...drawn to scale, these sketches are invaluable to convey proportions. The final design we arrived at had some changes from this early sketch, the most obvious being that we extended the hearth across the firewood storage areas.
