This 2018 custom outdoor fireplace installation was fabricated using Neolith, engineered to perform in exterior conditions while maintaining a refined architectural presence. The design incorporates a monolithic fireplace body with controlled open mitered edges, creating sharp geometric transitions without visible mechanical interruption. The custom configuration required structural reinforcement within the miter assembly to manage seasonal thermal expansion, substrate movement, and prolonged outdoor exposure.

The fire feature was integrated directly into the Neolith structure, requiring precise dimensional coordination, concealed ventilation planning, and heat-resistance calibration to ensure safe operation and long-term material stability. Custom inlaid detailing was introduced to create a unique visual contrast across both vertical and horizontal planes, extending the design beyond conventional surface cladding into a fully sculptural installation.

Because the project was exposed to fluctuating temperatures and environmental moisture, the bonding system and substrate preparation were engineered to allow controlled flexibility without compromising alignment. The result is a technically disciplined outdoor application that combines performance durability with bespoke architectural design.
