Outdoor kitchen with concrete counter beside a pool

Outdoor Kitchens,
built to live outside.

Outdoor kitchens and bars in stone, concrete and marine-grade steel — built for salt air and long dinners.

No. 1The Standard
The best room in the house has no walls.

We design outdoor kitchens as architecture, not appliances on a slab: poured-concrete counters, chukum finishes, grills and cold storage specified for coastal humidity, lighting tuned for ten o’clock dinners.

—How It Works

How an outdoor kitchen is built.

Grill, sink, storage and bar, built in stone and hardwood for a terrace or a rooftop.

ch10 05 — plan services first01

Plan services first

Water, drainage, gas and power decide where the kitchen can go. We find that out before you fall in love with a layout.

ch08 05 — design the run02

Design the run

Grill, prep, sink, fridge and bar set out so two people can work without colliding, with storage that keeps cushions and cookware out of the rain.

ch10 09 — built in weatherproof materials03

Built in weatherproof materials

Masonry carcass, stone or concrete counters, marine-grade cabinetry and stainless appliances rated for salt air.

Connected and commissioned

Plumbed, gassed, wired and tested. We light the grill with you and leave the manuals somewhere you will find them.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does an outdoor kitchen cost?

Most of our outdoor kitchens run US $12,000–$45,000 depending on size, stone and equipment. That includes design, construction, appliances and lighting — one number, one crew.

Will the appliances survive the salt air?

Yes — because we specify for it: marine-grade steel, sealed refrigeration and finishes chosen for coastal humidity. This is the difference between an outdoor kitchen here and one copied from a US catalog.

How long does it take?

Approved design to first dinner on one written schedule — poured counters and chukum cure time included.

Can you build one on a rooftop or a condo terrace?

Usually — the questions are load, water and gas. We check the slab, route plumbing and drainage, and use a bottled-gas or electric setup where a line isn’t available. If the building says no, we tell you before you spend anything.
