This is the gorgeous Cholla fireplace design. This corner design will add that extra something to your space without sacrificing too much room. With a total width of 11'-6" and depth of 65", this is a lot of fireplace in a small footprint. The arched firebox is 40" wide with matching arched 20" wide storage voids set on a 45 degree angle. The seating extends the entire width of the structure and the shelves over the voids are approximately 40" tall. You can build the structure with the angled chimney or with upper shelves as pictured. The total height of the fireplace is 8'-2". Add the perfect veneer to this fireplace to make it a one of a kind. This design requires some block cutting for the angles.
