Fireplace Built-ins With 45 Degree Angle
This home had a difficult layout as far as being able to design fireplace built-ins that would create some kind of symmetry from side to side. Included in that weirdness was the space to the right of the fireplace that had a short zero-degree wall and then a long wall going off at 45 degrees. Instead of building two sections staying flat to those two walls, we decided to span the space and leave a dead space behind.
