I was looking for a fireplace video on YouTube with rain sounds and ran into this little niche genre called scifi fireplaces.
It's a small collection of fire place scenes on space ships. Like, you are just gonna get home from your day job fixing arrays in the Jeffries tube and you are just gonna light a little bonfire in your quarters.
For crying out loud.

Google Photos sending its flashback messages every morning and this one was from a year ago. Our first fire of the season being enjoyed by Harley in the background and Sam, our daughter's cat obviously visiting at that time, curled up on an ottoman.
Hasn't been cool enough yet for a cozy fire but I'm sure we'll have one at Thanksgiving.
#Gasstoves have become a hot news item recently. During cold winter snaps, one can see and smell the signs of yet another indoor #airquality disaster: #woodburning #fireplaces.
The worst of the worst: a traditional open fireplace, which doesn't just pollute but actually doesn't #heat the home and are waste energy even when there isn't a fire.

"Alice (Sit-by-the-Fire)," Lilian Westcott Hale, 1925.
Hale (1880-1963) was a noted American painter of portraits & domestic scenes of women & girls, mostly in tune with the Boston School style of American Impressionists.
I think many of us will want to sit by the fire this weekend!

Práctica Arquitectura uses single material holiday home near Monterrey
A tall, pyramidal roof tops the main living area of this holiday home in northern Mexico by Práctica Arquitectura, made almost entirely of concrete.
Located on a large plot of land in the village of El Barrial, near the city of Monterrey, the project was developed as a secondary home for a family and dubbed "El Aguacate" – or "The Avocado".
Práctica Arquitectura used colourful concrete for El Aguacate
The one-storey concrete home was completed in 2021. Its walls, floors, and ceilings are made of a similar shade of concrete, lending the interiors a tranquil and uniform quality.
"We felt it was important to rethink the idea of a weekend house from the environmental, social, economic and aesthetic commitment to provide only what is necessary," said Práctica Arquitectura, an office based in Monterrey.
The home is named for its distinctive concentric shape
The concentric layout of the rooms places the main gathering space at the centre of the plan, while bedrooms and secondary spaces are located at the periphery of the 165-square-metre home.
This allowed the architects to include small pockets of greenery between different program areas.
"Its inhabitants can enjoy the surrounding landscape through the large windows that end in two of its perimeter patios," said Práctica Arquitectura.
Interior walls, floors and ceilings are also made of concrete
"A large terrace extends into the terrain, by means of vegetated platforms," they added, describing a larger outdoor area that projects out from the back of the house.
Visitors enter the home directly into a tall, central room topped by a pyramidal skylight 4.5 metres above the floor.
Two bedrooms are placed at opposite corners of the square plan
This space is the central gathering area and has a large dining table, several couches, and a fireplace built into one of the concrete walls.
Two bedrooms are placed at opposite corners of the square plan, each with a bathroom. The kitchen is also located just off the living and dining room and includes a bedroom for a domestic worker.

Floor-to-ceiling windows lead out to a covered terrace, which is only slightly smaller than the interior living room. It provides enough space for several armchairs, a large dining table, and an outdoor kitchen.
The roof extends over this outdoor space, supported by columns that help it feel more sheltered. Beyond the roof's edges, the landscape is terraced down to meet the site's grade.
The architects also included an exterior fire pit a few steps away from the house, which is accessed via a footpath.

Práctica Arquitectura explained that the use of a single, monolithic material was meant to contrast with the lushness of the surrounding grounds.
"The sobriety and solidity of the exterior accentuate the stony and monolithic appearance of the house, dialoguing through colour and textures with the intense green colour of the garden and the extensive character of the site," the architects explained.

Dezeen Showroom: French fireplace brand Focus has released glazed versions of three of its most popular designs, giving them a sliding window intended to increase energy performance.
The new glazed design is available on the Gyrofocus, Domofocus and Ergofocus wood-burning fireplace models, which all feature a suspended, rotatable firebox.
Ergofocus is one of three fireplace models that has been given a glazed update
The update adds a curved, sliding glass window to the front of the fireplaces, allowing Focus to improve the energy efficiency of the models while still giving an uninterrupted view of the flickering flames inside.
The glazed models are Ecodesign certified and compliant with the European Union and United Kingdom's pollution limits for 2022.
The Domofocus fireplace has a curvaceous design
According to Focus, closing the fireplaces required huge technological innovation, as it is particularly difficult to do within the curved, organic shapes of the Gyrofocus, Domofocus and Ergofocus.
The models all feature air supply regulation mechanisms at the base of the window, making it easy to adjust the intensity of the fire.

Jeanne Schultz designs Passeig de Grácia apartment around period features
Ornamental details including a stone fireplace and a gilded mirror take centre stage in this minimal revamp of a Barcelona apartment overseen by Jeanne Schultz Design Studio.
Located on Passeig de Grácia, the two-bedroom flat boasts a range of period features including a Catalan vault ceiling, wooden parquet flooring and an antique chandelier.
Period details in the flat include a stone fireplace and wood panelling
These ornamental details command attention, yet Barcelona-based Schultz and her team have managed to make the interior feel bright and spacious by adding new furniture sparingly and adopting a sensitive colour strategy that enhances what's already there.
"We maintained almost all elements of the flat," Schultz told Dezeen. "Architectural interventions were all in the interest of preserving the home and refinishing it."
Furniture was added sparingly to offer a minimalist feel
Passeig de Grácia 97 is owned by a young entrepreneur who recently relocated from Paris. As he is often travelling, he wanted his home to feel both functional and peaceful.
Schultz felt it was important to retain as many of the apartment's existing features as possible, but to make them feel fresh by pairing them with characterful modern pieces.
"The client wanted just the essentials, so the space is carefully curated," she explained. "Each object plays with our core ideas of earthiness, handcrafted, local and comfortable."
Green tiles within the fireplace influenced the colour scheme
The starting point for her design was the living room, where a pink stone fireplace with chequered green tiles is set against a wall of wood panelling and shelves.
"One the things that struck me most about the flat was the living room with its charm: all the existing wood shelving and millwork, the crown moulding and antique details," said Schultz.
Old patio doors were sanded and repaired, then repainted green
To complement these elements, a green tone was added to doors, window frames and ceiling mouldings, to announce this room as the centre of the home.
The same green features in the velvet dining chairs, which surround a wooden table at one end of the room.
Other key details in this room include a curvy white armchair, a bulky black side table and a bulbous leather floor lamp.
Walls are painted in subtly different shades of white, to enhance light contrasts
For the rest of the home, Schultz was keen to maintain the vistas through the floor plan.
The flat has an unusual layout that contains no corridors. The lobby, kitchen, living room and dining space are laid out in sequence, connected by arched doorways, while two bedrooms and bathrooms are set alongside.

"There is a linear focal point starting from the entry leading to the terrace, which allows for this amazing procession through the spaces," said Schultz. "The sunlight hits all the way from the terrace to the entry."
To highlight the lighting contrasts, the walls in different rooms are painted in subtly different shades of white.
Rooms in the apartment are arranged in sequence, connected by arched doorways
The gilded mirror was found in the apartment, but was deemed too large to be hung from a wall. Instead it is propped up in the corner of the main bedroom, offering cloudy grey reflections of the room.
To balance the visual of this element and emphasise the high ceiling, Schultz chose a low, platform-style bed.
A gilded mirror is the focal point in the main bedroom
The biggest challenge for the designer was the project timeline; she was given just five weeks to complete, which provided challenging when many existing elements – the patios, for instance – needed to be repaired.
To ensure she completed on time, Schultz sourced all of the furniture from retailers with shops in Barcelona, including Dareels, Kave Home and Oliver.
Other examples of refurbished apartments in Barcelona include a geometric design for a flat in Ricardo Bofill's Walden 7 and a yellow scheme for a home in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi.
