Building an open fireplace, tips?

[aivo]

I am planning to build an open fireplace in my living room, and I am thinking of inserting a cassette from Handöl into it. Now I'm wondering if there is anyone here on the forum who can give some tips on how to build the actual fireplace, design tips are also welcome.

Parts of this may apply primarily to traditional fireplaces, but is likely applicable in your case as well.
