This custom outdoor kitchen is built with a strong, long-lasting aluminum frame, designed to withstand the Florida weather without rust or deterioration. Its U-shaped layout includes a split bar—creating a dual-function space with one side for meal prep and the other for bar-style seating and entertainment.
We installed durable stacked stone finishes and a level 1 granite countertop for a cohesive look, while appliances were placed with function and workflow in mind—giving the homeowner a true chef-style outdoor kitchen. The split bar setup makes it easy for guests to gather around while the host cooks, enhancing the overall outdoor living experience.
A tongue and groove wood ceiling adds warmth and a rich architectural detail above most of the kitchen area. However, per the grill manufacturer’s safety requirements, we intentionally did not install wood directly above the grill, as combustible materials are prohibited in that zone.
Instead, we designed the ceiling layout to maintain a clean and intentional look, while using either open framing or non-combustible solutions above the grill to stay compliant with fire safety codes. This ensures both safety and style—a key balance in all our outdoor kitchen projects.
We also built a custom outdoor fireplace using the same stacked stone as the outdoor kitchen . This not only adds warmth and ambiance but also visually connects the space. The natural stone texture blends beautifully with the rest of the outdoor elements, creating a cohesive and luxurious environment.
Whether it’s a cozy evening by the fire or entertaining guests on cool nights, the fireplace becomes a focal point that enhances year-round outdoor living.
To elevate the outdoor room feel, we also applied stacked stone to the outdoor kitchen wall and wrapped two columns with the same material. These touches ground the space in timeless craftsmanship and add architectural definition. The stonework continues the material palette from the outdoor kitchen and fireplace, pulling the entire design together.
