I had this idea of an apartment built around a fireplace. But a modern, electric heater kind of fireplace.
I like it, but it isn't quite there where I'd like to be.
Very nice rendering. I like your concept of the fireplace. The only crit I have is on your light sources. They seem a little too strong for the environment. Even if you wanted them that strong, there isn't enough lighting on some of the surfaces (i.e vases) to complement the strength of the light.
The reflections on that stoney floor look really good. The light from the windows are interesting too. The concept of a centered fireplace is very original!
