Blue Family Room Design Photos with a Ribbon Fireplace

This existing client reached out to MMI Design for help shortly after the flood waters of Harvey subsided. Her home was ravaged by 5 feet of water throughout the first floor. What had been this client's long-term dream renovation became a reality, turning the nightmare of Harvey's wrath into one of the loveliest homes designed to date by MMI. We led the team to transform this home into a showplace. Our work included a complete redesign of her kitchen and family room, master bathroom, two powders, butler's pantry, and a large living room. MMI designed all millwork and cabinetry, adjusted the floor plans in various rooms, and assisted the client with all material specifications and furnishings selections. Returning these clients to their beautiful '"new" home is one of MMI's proudest moments!

This photo by Peter Lik is called "Tree of Life". It was the inspiration for the design of the fireplace. The double sided ribbon fireplace was a great way to combine the two units together to make them feel like one space. This fireplace is 20' tall. The hearth is made from concrete and appears to be floating. We cantilevered between the two units to support the weight of the concrete. Both fireplaces have the same hearth. The artwork is not only illuminated from the front, but we also installed LED lights around the sides that provide a rich warm glow at night.

La strategia del progetto è stata quella di adattare l'appartamento allo stile di vita contemporaneo dei giovani proprietari. I due piani sono così nuovamente strutturati: al piano inferiore la zona giorno e la terrazza, due camere da letto e due bagni. Al piano superiore la camera da letto principale con un grande bagno e una zona studio che affaccia sul salotto sottostante.
Il gioco dei piani tra un livello e l’altro è stato valorizzato con la realizzazione di un ballatoio lineare che attraversa tutta la zona giorno.

This space is the heart of the home where the most time is spent with the family. Keeping it open and inviting was key.
