LUXURY OUTDOOR KITCHENS
An outdoor kitchen is a sophisticated addition to your home and garden. A luxury outdoor kitchen takes the simple barbecue area to the next level, giving you a home-from-home in your garden that allows you to entertain whenever you want to, with a fully-functional kitchen to hand.
What does this mean for you? It means you’re no longer tied to having a dining area that’s close to your property. Instead, you can build a kitchen and seating area that has the best views, the most privacy or the position closest to the pool. It transforms your garden into a place you can enjoy with friends and family all year round.
CREATING THE PERFECT LUXURY OUTDOOR KITCHEN
Just like specifying your indoor kitchen, there’s a wide range of appliances, cupboards, storage, gadgets and features you can choose from when you’re creating that perfect look and feel..
To begin with, there’s the building. You may be starting from scratch, in which case you can specify all the materials, the shape and the flow from kitchen to dining area. Some clients choose to upscale an existing outbuilding, repurposing it and adding to it to create a space that integrates with your existing building bringing it up to date in terms of luxury and style.
APPLIANCES
Then you can choose your appliances – state-of-the-art barbecues, grills, luxury pizza ovens and even a full range cooker. Cool drawers are great ways to keep your drinks at the perfect temperature, and all the features of a regular kitchen – soft-close cupboards and clever storage solutions – are available. Everything is weatherproofed for easy maintenance and chosen to compliment your style.
Include a fridge and freezer so you’re always well stocked, a sink so you can keep everything tidy, and perhaps even think about building in herb beds or a full potager so that you have amazing fresh ingredients to hand.
Integrating your luxury outdoor kitchen
Working with a client to design their outdoor kitchen is a really exciting process. By understanding how you want to use this space, we can help you integrate it into the wider garden plan – using pathways, planting, lawns and lighting to make it a real destination point.
Additional features can include the installation of traditional pergolas or more contemporary structures with retractable sides so you can entertain no matter what the weather. And with great lighting and outdoor heating to finish things off, your outdoor kitchen will soon become a central hub in your garden.
