Is this a moden fireplace or a traditional fireplace?

This is a fireplace by Landscape Architect Christy Ten Eyck in her own home garden. I love it! I think she hits a wonderful note (well, maybe more like a chord) by combining the typically modern rusted steel with the typically traditional Texas limestone. The result is something that I find very comfortably "now".

I came across the fireplace on garden designer Pam Penick's wonderful blog, Digging.  Make sure to drop in on her blog and see what's new!

    You're so right.
    The combination of the typically modern rusted steel with the typically traditional Texas limestone is wonderful. The garden looks so unique.
    Thanks for sharing.

    This fireplace is good for family bonding. The designer had a brilliant idea in designing this place. The trees and plants affect the beauty of the garden. This inspired us and gave us ideas to make our home a better place to live.
