Martha’s Vineyard stone artist Lew French created this exceptional fireplace for a Hutker Architects designed home on the Vineyard. Combining driftwood, smooth rubble stones and large, sharp edged stone slabs, he crafted a most unusual feature for the house. The driftwood seems to magically stay in place while the stones provide a contrast in texture and mass. The colors of the different materials blend perfectly and compliment the reclaimed barn siding used for wall covering. It’s a wonderful example of good craftsmanship and excellent design joining forces to create a beautiful home.
