In the heart of Marietta, Atlanta Waterscapes recently completed a project that redefines the concept of a “screened-in porch.” The centerpiece of this luxury gazebo is a custom-built, wood-burning stone fireplace that demands attention.
The Craftsmanship
The defining feature of this build is the solid stone mantel. Measuring 7 feet by 2 feet, this massive piece of natural stone required a seven-man team to set it in place. This isn’t just a fireplace; it’s a structural anchor.
Below the hearth, we integrated custom cabinetry to discreetly house controls for the home’s TV and stereo systems—blending rustic masonry with modern technology.
The Exterior Flow
Just outside the gazebo, the stonework continues into a multi-level concrete pond and waterfall. We used natural stone edging to create a seamless transition between the manicured lawn and the aquatic environment.
The project is rounded out by a full outdoor kitchen, featuring a built-in grill and burner set into matching stone cabinetry, proving that functionality and luxury can exist in perfect harmony.
