Custom Fireplaces-

 

The earthen fireplaces handcrafted by New Mexico Earth Works are each unique and customized for their location.   This free form fireplace, for example, is the centerpiece of a large contemporary great room.  Outdoor dining pavilions are another opportunity for a striking fireplace.  More traditional homes often have custom kiva-style fireplaces inside and outside as well as hornos for cooking bread.  We can even restore historic fireplaces.
