Architectural Fire was established in 2016, born from a passion and a realization to “design with fire”.Jonathan Howie and Amy Howie - husband and wife - had already established and grown Montana Fire Pits as the nationally known expert in outdoor gas fire features. Although they supply knowledge, expertise and industry leading products to homeowners, builders and landscape professionals, they realized that no one was specifically offering service designers, architects and the more discerning luxury clientele.As a result, Jonathan established Architectural Fire to be the definitive source for custom outdoor gas fire features.Arch-Fire provides creative direction, design assistance, technical information, consulting and industry’s best outdoor gas fire feature burner system. If you and your clients require the components to compliment your design or entirely custom concrete or steel enclosures to suit any environment and compliment any space, we have your answers.Our process is simple, effective and timely. Our passion is contagious. Our energy is unmatched and we have a true desire to make “designing with fire” an integral part of any outdoor environment.

He consulted and designed the kitchen, including new cabinetry, tile flooring, granite countertops, lighting, appliance placement and installation, trim and painting, plumbing and electrical work. In effect he acted as project manager and general contractor, as he sourced, scheduled, and managed all aspects of the work including a complete tear out of the old kitchen and a new installation of the new. Jonathan kept the project on schedule, solved problems on the fly, kept us well informed throughout the work and finished on budget. He is calming influence and a man of his word. I would highly recommend him without reservation to family or friends, or anyone for that matter."Jonathan is wonderful! He makes dreams come true! He took my design & turned it into reality. My old, outdated 1970"s, small, dark kitchen & family room are now a large, beautiful, functional place that I LOVE. I was prepared for a 2 - 3 month demolition & construction project & he turned it into 6 weeks from start to finish. Probably would have taken less time, if I could have picked a paint color! The comments from my friends and family are that my kitchen looks like the pictures from a design magazine! It is amazing the transformation. Better than I had hoped for. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone, no matter the size of the project!"
