FIREPLACES & FIRE PITS

Flame has a way of changing a space. Softer edges. Slower conversations. It draws people in without asking.

WARMTH BY DESIGN

Fire brings people together. A fireplace or fire pit extends the seasons, adds warmth and atmosphere, and becomes the heart of your outdoor gatherings. Schmechtig designs each to fit seamlessly — from grand stone fireplaces to sleek modern fire pits.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN

Every family gathers differently — some crave the cozy hearth, others love the energy of open flames. From roasting marshmallows to flipping flapjacks over the fire, these simple pleasures inspire the way Schmechtig designs. Each fire feature is crafted to reflect your lifestyle and become the heart of your outdoor living.

There’s a reason we’ve gathered around fire for thousands of years. It’s not just warmth—it’s connection.

CREATING YOUR SPACE

Every fire feature begins with how you gather. Some prefer a grand stone fireplace as the centerpiece, others the easy glow of a fire pit surrounded by friends. Schmechtig considers scale, flow, and materials to ensure it feels seamless with your home. Seating, lighting, and safety are built in so the setting is both inviting and lasting.
