Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor Kitchens are a great way to extend your time outdoors; why come inside to cook when you have the same or better equipment outside? Weather permitting, I move most of my cooking out of doors, even during the winter. I like the freedom of high-temperature cooking outside without worrying about all the smoke.
​
Materials for an outdoor kitchen are becoming as varied as for patios. While you can still do a kitchen in stone, they can also be clad in wood and colorful, powder-coated stainless steel.
​
The other exciting development is the number of modern modular kitchens now hitting the market in various styles.
Whether you are interested in a full kitchen or a permanent counter to park your grill near, we can help design the right space for you!
Single Island Kitchens
Unique
This kitchen island was clad in black cedar to match the house.
​
The far end of the kitchen has a central support beam enabling chairs to be pushed in on both sides of the counter.
​
The countertop is stained, smooth concrete.
U-Shaped Kitchens
State-of-the-art
This U-Shaped Kitchen was created for a couple that likes to do a lot of entertaining.
​
The kitchen base matches the walls of their sunken patio, and the countertop is exposed aggregate concrete.
​
My clients advise future outdoor kitchen enthusiasts to put in a second refrigerator. If you like to put everything outside before your guests come, you'll run out of room between all the beverages and the food you're trying to keep cold.
Modular Options
Custom
There are many modular options for outdoor kitchens.
The kitchen at left is a product from Trex, the same company that makes composite decking.
