Envirotech masonry heater module by Gimme Shelter. The brick veneer design and installation was a joint effort by Gimme Shelter and the Owners. Note bake oven door at upper right and brick hearth on the floor in front of the heater creating a non-combustible hearth.
The library has a tray ceiling with recessed lighting for subtle changes in room light. Tile paves are laid directly on a slab that acts as a thermal mass, storing heat in the winter and moderating temperature swings in the summer. Note valance above windows that conceals window quilts.
