create a highly photorealistic luxury living room centered around a sculptural fireplace maintain a clean minimal architectural setting with soft neutral surroundings so the fireplace is the focal point fireplace design exact style from reference design a modern fireplace with a multi step progressively inset surround matching the proportions and rhythm shown in the reference image the surround should consist of several stepped layers that recess inward toward the firebox each layer equal in thickness creating clean consistent shadow lines all edges should be sharp mitered and precisely aligned the fireplace should terminate cleanly at the floor with no hearth maintain a flush seamless transition from fireplace to flooring the firebox should be a simple black insert with a minimal frame providing strong contrast against the marble material primary feature clad the entire fireplace in calacatta viola marble the marble should feature creamy white base bold burgundy and wine colored veining natural variation with a balanced high end slab appearance ensure veining feels intentional and flows logically across the stepped layers where possible finish should be honed or lightly polished refined not overly glossy surrounding architecture keep walls simple and light soft white or plaster finish no millwork shelving decor or objects nearby allow the fireplace to read as a singular architectural element lighting realism critical render as a highly photorealistic architectural digest style photograph with a restoration hardware aesthetic use soft natural daylight entering from one side creating gentle highlights across each stepped layer allow shadows to fall naturally within each recess to emphasize depth and precision materials must read true to life rich depth and variation in calacatta viola veining subtle softness of honed marble realistic shadow transitions between layers avoid overly dramatic contrast keep lighting soft warm and diffused avoid wide angle distortion keep vertical lines perfectly straight and proportions true overall feel the final image should feel minimal sculptural and extremely high end with the stepped calacatta viola surround acting as a bold but refined architectural centerpiece
