As open-concept living and outdoor entertaining continue to define modern design, more architects and homeowners are discovering the appeal of the inside outside fireplace. Also known as indoor outdoor fireplaces, these custom fire features provide a radiant focal point on both sides of a shared wall, connecting interior comfort with exterior beauty.
At Acucraft, every gas fireplace is handcrafted to fit your exact specifications. Whether you’re designing for a luxury home, a boutique resort, or a high-end restaurant, our inside outside fireplaces offer seamless style and enduring impact.
What Is an Inside Outside Fireplace?
An inside outside fireplace is a single firebox installed within an exterior wall, offering flame views from both the indoor and outdoor sides. These fireplaces are:
- Ideal for patios, courtyards, and lounges
- Available in sealed or open-view configurations
- Customizable in size, media, and flame style
- Perfect for year-round ambiance and zoning
