Echo Series 05

[1] How did you feel the first time you lit a fire in your new stove? 

I felt empowered to create such a strong, powerful fire. I sat by it, feeling the warmth and watching the orange and red flames flickering. I let all my sense experience the fire, and had a moment to myself. 

[2] What do you appreciate most about it, something you didn’t expect?

The space feels complete. I love how the chimney brings you from the bottom floor all the way to the ceiling of the top floor, allowing your eyes to travel upwards, taking in the mezzanine and the height of the ceiling. It feels grand and cozy all at once.
