The Challenge

Designing for Heat and Durability

The project required a material that could withstand high temperatures and the elements, essential for an outdoor fire pit. Neolith Sintered Stone was selected for its superior heat resistance, UV stability, and scratch resistance, making it an ideal choice for this application in Kirkland's variable climate.

Additionally, the challenge was to integrate the fire pit seamlessly into the existing outdoor space, maintaining a contemporary aesthetic that complements the client's modern home exterior.

The complexity of ensuring a flawless installation in an uneven outdoor environment added another layer to the project, demanding precision and expertise in both design and execution.

Our Approach

Precision in Execution

Our approach began with the STONEEX digital laser scan, capturing the precise layout of the outdoor space to ensure a perfect fit. This technology allowed us to create a detailed model, accommodating the slight irregularities found in outdoor environments.

CNC fabrication at our Kirkland facility ensured that each piece of Neolith was cut with precision, maintaining clean lines and seamless joints essential for the project's sleek design. Our team focused on achieving a perfect eased edge profile to ensure safety without compromising on style.

Seam planning was critical, with the seam strategically placed at the rear to minimize visibility. This, combined with the integration of LED accent lighting, enhanced the fire pit's functionality and aesthetic appeal, creating a stunning centerpiece for outdoor gatherings.
