Linear Fire Features in Jacksonville, FL
Linear fireplaces and linear fire pits for Northeast Florida: a long, clean line of fire built into a wall or a bench.
A linear fire feature gives you a wide, low ribbon of flame that suits modern and transitional homes, set into a fireplace wall, a privacy wall or a sunken bench area. AY Luxury Designs designs linear fireplaces and linear fire pits for homeowners in Jacksonville and across Northeast Florida, often custom-built to fit the design rather than dropped in from a catalog. Gas connections are made by our licensed gas trade partners.

Linear Fire Features: Your Options
- Linear fireplace walls. Set in stone, stucco or wall block, often with a mantel and a TV above.
- Linear fire pits. Long fire pits between parallel benches, in a sunken area or on the patio.
- Between privacy walls. Framed by privacy walls so the fire becomes the focal point.
- Lighted shelves and caps. Accent lighting built into shelves, caps and steps.
NAHB counts outdoor fireplaces among the home features that have grown most in popularity over the past decade.
Before leaving a fire, NFPA advises dousing it with water and making sure the area is cool to the touch.
Permits and HOA approval
Fireplaces and gas work are permitted, and fire features have code requirements for placement and clearances. Many HOAs review them too. We design to code, include the feature in your HOA application and handle the permitting.

Our Design-Build Process
- Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your linear fire feature take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.
- Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
- In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
- Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the permits.
- Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
- The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.
Financing is available through Synchrony Bank, including 18 months of no-interest financing, and we have other financing options as well.
Recent Linear Fire Features Work
A-frame cedar gazebo with linear gas fire feature and outdoor kitchen, Jacksonville Beach We turned this home's original gable-roof lanai into a full A-frame by over-framing a new A-frame that ties straight into it, finished in white outside to match the house, with new posts that match the existing ones. Inside, a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling with dimmable lights and a ridge fan tops the space. A linear gas fireplace with lights under the caps, a reclaimed-wood mantel and a TV above sits between two privacy walls, and a matching outdoor kitchen with a second TV sits under the original lanai. The whole space is screened top to bottom with our expanded-view upgrade.
Cedar gazebo, screen enclosure and outdoor kitchen, The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club) An expansive A-frame cedar gazebo tied into the home's roofline, with a linear gas fireplace and TV wall, inside a screen enclosure with our expanded-view upgrade, over marble laid in a French pattern with an outdoor kitchen and a new door opening into the house.
Pergola-to-gazebo makeover with travertine and seating walls, Sawgrass (Ponte Vedra Beach) We removed an aging pergola and outdoor kitchen and replaced them with a custom cedar gazebo with a wood ceiling, a screen enclosure with a motorized retractable screen and a linear fireplace. French-pattern travertine, seating walls, columns and a water feature tie it together, with in-ground lighting for evenings.
