Outdoor Fireplace & Fire Pit Design

Create Warmth, Atmosphere & Elegance in Every Season

At PARC Concepts, we design outdoor fireplaces and backyard fire pits that bring both architectural beauty and all-season functionality to your landscape. Whether it’s a wood-burning fire pit for relaxed gatherings or a sleek outdoor gas fireplace for modern entertaining, every design is tailored to complement your home, garden, and lifestyle.

​

Proudly serving Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland, the Central Coast, the broader Hunter Region and Australia wide, we create fire features that elevate your outdoor living spaces, whether it’s part of a poolside retreat, a garden room, or a large acreage estate.

Fire Features Built for Lifestyle

Fire draws people in, and when integrated thoughtfully, it transforms your outdoor space into a year-round destination.

 

We design and plan: 

  • Built-in outdoor fireplaces (brick, stone, concrete, or clad) 

  • Freestanding backyard fire pits for social zones or garden edges 

  • Smokeless fire pit designs for comfort and compliance 

  • Gas, wood, or electric outdoor fireplaces based on your preferences 

  • Indoor–outdoor fireplaces, bridging the transition between living zones 

  • Custom surrounds, seating walls, firewood storage, and lighting 

Designed for Australian Conditions

Outdoor fire features must be safe, durable, and suited to your environment. We ensure:
 

  • Correct clearance from structures, plants, and fences 

  • Use of fire-rated materials appropriate for your local BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) rating 

  • Designs that work with your existing landscape architecture, elevation, and drainage 

We also offer outdoor fireplace designs for Australia’s coastal and rural environments, with weather-resistant finishes and smart zoning for warmth and wind protection.

Fire Feature Ideas for Every Setting

Whether you’re entertaining under the stars or soaking in a nearby outdoor spa, your fire zone should feel intentional and inviting. 

We often include fire features in:
 

  • Poolside pavilions or lounging zones 

  • Courtyards, where small backyard fire pit ideas can bring intimacy and charm 

  • Acreage and sloped sites, where natural stone or tiered seating enhances the landscape 


Fireplaces can also be positioned to create visual anchors, divide zones, or offer views from both indoor and outdoor living areas. 

Types of Outdoor Fireplaces & Fire Pits 

Whether you’re designing for warmth, ambience, or architectural drama, we’ll recommend the right type of fire feature for your site and style:

  • Great for modern homes and entertaining zones 

  • Can be integrated into feature walls or outdoor kitchens 

Outdoor Wood Fireplace

  • Ideal for rustic, coastal, or acreage properties 

  • Can be paired with firewood storage or brick surrounds 

Electric Outdoor Fireplaces

  • Can be framed as modern landscape features 

Custom Fire Pit Design

We also specialise in small backyard fire pit ideas that maximise space without sacrificing style, perfect for courtyards or compact entertaining zones.
