Outdoor Fireplace

One of the hottest homebuilding trends today, outdoor fireplaces can be built as a decorative element for a patio, or they can function as a place for cooking. Being designed as a wood-fired oven allows homeowners to cook pizzas or the popular campfire favorite, s’mores right on their very own patio. Even outdoor kitchens have evolved from outdoor fireplaces. The warmth and crackle of an outdoor fire adds joy to a backyard. And, in climates with temperatures changes throughout the year, building a home plan with an outdoor fireplace is a great way to extend your outdoor living area well into the colder seasons. Many Florida style, Mediterranean style and sunbelt house plans include outdoor fireplaces.
