About this asset

This industrial-style Revit family features a repurposed naval mine converted into a unique, spherical freestanding fireplace. The fireplace is defined by its spherical body, clearly derived from a vintage naval mine, complete with small protruding contact horns around the upper hemisphere. A circular glass-fronted door is mounted on the front, providing a focal point for the firebox. The entire structure is supported by a vertical central steel flue pipe that extends both above and below the sphere, anchoring the unit to the floor. Finished in a matte black, the design presents a stark, sculptural aesthetic that contrasts heavy, repurposed military hardware with the warmth of a domestic fireplace setting.

The download is a 563 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a native Revit family, this asset is intended for placement in project files as a freestanding component. Users should ensure the family is loaded into the project environment before dragging it from the project browser onto the floor plan or 3D view. Because it features a vertical flue, it is best placed in models where the pipe can be aligned with ceiling penetrations. Standard material parameters allow for the adjustment of the metal finish to suit the surrounding interior palette.

Ideal for high-concept residential projects, boutique hotels, or creative office spaces, this fireplace serves as a striking statement piece. It works effectively in open-plan living areas or industrial-style lofts where a bold, non-traditional hearth is required. Designers might search for sculptural fireplaces, unique wood burners, or industrial decor to find this type of asset. It pairs well with exposed brickwork, concrete flooring, and raw timber elements, providing a focal point that bridges the gap between functional heating and artistic installation.
