Moving beyond the kitchen and bath, designers are now tasked with updating rooms throughout the home, as well as outside its walls.

Now, he\u2019s getting requests for about 10 to 12. Much of that growth he also attributes to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPeople can get together with their friends and maintain social distance outdoors,\u201d he stresses. \u201cTen years ago, an outdoor kitchen <\/span><span class=\"s2\">didn\u2019t have a clear definition. It was basically grilling on a deck. COVID-19 has given the outdoor kitchen a new meaning, with <\/span><span class=\"s1\">much more clarity. Now it has evolved to include a grill, a smoker, <\/span><span class=\"s2\">a pizza oven, a side burner, a refrigerator, an ice maker and even a sink and faucet. It has changed tremendously. Now, people are investing almost as much money outside as they are inside.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Replicate the Indoors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is little in the way of amenities that aren\u2019t included in a recent deck-turned-outdoor kitchen, which \u2013 thanks to a roof, retractable screens, a heater and a ceiling fan \u2013 is virtually year \u2018round living space, even in its colder climate location.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur clients wanted the space to replicate an interior kitchen, but with an exterior flair,\u201d offers Nazemian, noting that all four zones of kitchen design \u2013 hot, cold, dry and wet \u2013 are represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The array of appliances includes a traditional barbecue grill and a ventilation hood, a side burner, a smoker, warming drawers and a beverage refrigerator. Plus, the homeowners can cook a pizza in less than two minutes thanks to the natural gas-powered pizza oven that can heat to a blazing 900\u00b0 F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou cannot achieve that indoors,\u201d he stresses, adding that pizza ovens have become more popular with his clients given their more affordable price tag.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional comforts include a sink and faucet that ease cleanup, stainless steel cabinetry that withstands the elements and an island that offers seating for guests so they can easily converse with the cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this kitchen spared little in the way of indulgences, Nazemian indicates that functional and comfortable outdoor spaces can be accomplished with less.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven people in small townhouses can do a nice, affordable outdoor kitchen,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are a lot more price ranges so people can be basic or fancy\u2026and still have the amenities they are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minimally that usually means a grill, side burner and some sort of cooling element via a refrigerator, portable cart or cooler. Such was the case with another recent outdoor kitchen that was part of a new patio and pergola addition. Appliances, including a grill and side burner, beverage refrigerators and warming drawers, fulfill the cooking needs. Drawers beneath the grill provide storage and a pull-out trash bin simplifies cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These functional services adjoin the pergola, which \u2013 with its focal-point wood-burning fireplace \u2013 steals the show. A fire pit with a tabletop furthers the ambiance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis outdoor space has fewer appliances, but it is uniquely designed to meet our clients\u2019 personal needs so it is meaningful and useful,\u201d he says.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173846 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173846 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152134\/Hattie_Collins-_DSCF0954.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Hattie Collins transformed a relatively simple patio\/pergola into a living space where the barbecue grill, along with a kamado-style grill, takes center stage against a backdrop of stacked stone with accents of marble and hand-painted Mexican tile.\u00a0<br><em>Photo: Laura Steffan\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appliance Diversity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s2\">Grills are still an essential component of any outdoor kitchen, but now they are often built into cabinetry and accompanied by ventilation hoods, as well as a laundry list of other appliances.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople are wanting to add in more and more appliances,\u201d observes Hattie Collins owner\/lead creative of Hattie Sparks in New Orleans, LA. \u201cNow we see a lot of pizza ovens, charcoal and gas grills and beverage stations with wine coolers and ice machines. In general, we\u2019re seeing a lot more variety when it comes to appliances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such was the case with a recent renovation, where she transformed a relatively simple patio\/pergola into a living space where the barbecue grill, along with a kamado-style grill, takes center stage against a backdrop of stacked stone with accents of marble and hand-painted Mexican tile. The latter pays homage to her clients\u2019 Texas roots. To expand cooking capabilities, she also included a griddle.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey had an existing structure and a huge backyard with a pool,\u201d she relates, adding that the family also has two young children. \u201cDuring COVID, they were spending more time outside, and they weren\u2019t going out to eat much, so they wanted their outdoor space to be more functional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since entertaining was also important, Collins included seating \u2013 both bar and lounge, a flat-screen television, a beverage cooler and a pullout trash container.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEntertainment elements in outdoor kitchens are popular,\u201d she notes. \u201cPeople want to sit outside and hang out to watch TV. It\u2019s similar to interior spaces where people gather in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For aesthetics, Collins maintained the existing posts, which she wrapped in pickled wood to emulate the trunks of the nearby Crepe Myrtle trees and to conceal their previously elaborate decorative elements. Haint blue paint brightens the ceiling and pays homage to the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173847 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173847 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12152310\/Eve_Lowey_190607_37BeaconBay_476.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seamless Indoor\/Outdoor Transition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Eve Lowey, ASID, president\/founder of Chameleon Design, purchased her home in Costa Mesa, CA, she wanted a more useful outdoor living space that functioned seamlessly with the interior spaces.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This scenario is similar to what other designers are experiencing with their clients, and even themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is California,\u201d she emphasizes. \u201cThe weather here is really good for much of the year, so the most important part about this design was making the patio more usable. That\u2019s a key part of designing any exterior space\u2026making it feel like actual living space and of primary importance, rather than as a secondary thought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018before\u2019 space was rather basic with a grill, some chairs and a table with an umbrella.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To elevate the indoor\/outdoor experience, Lowey worked with architect Jeffrey Riggs and Molly Wood Garden Design to include folding glass door walls that provide a visual and physical connection between the outdoor kitchen and the indoor kitchen\/family room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we are set up to have a party, people can freely flow in and out of the house to the outside,\u201d she reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To boost the kitchen portion of the exterior space, she included a barbecue and a few drawers for storage. Both are tucked beneath the second-story overhang to offer some protection from the elements.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u201cOur indoor kitchen is nearby, but it\u2019s still nice to have a place for storing utensils that are used with the grill,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To boost the living portion of the exterior space, Lowey added lounge chairs and a long bench that can double as seating and as a place to set food. Both are positioned in close proximity to the centrally located firepit, which offers warmth for cool evenings where breezes blow in from the bay.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing more lovely than watching a fire dance,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s both beautiful and relaxing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Focus on Fire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fire was also an emphasis in a recent patio renovation where Schaffner gave the outdoor living area a focal-point fireplace accented with graphic fire-safe brick. A television, a dining table and a quintet of multi-sized rattan pendants complete the central focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis outdoor renovation was part of a whole house remodel, where we essentially tore down the house to its foundation,\u201d she reports, noting a collaboration with Sunburst Landscaping and 360 Construction. \u201cAs part of the rebuild, my clients wanted to optimize the outdoor space and have a backyard that made sense and was cohesive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they like to entertain and host dinner parties with friends and neighbors, she located a cooking station along one perimeter.

We\u2019re always looking for the next best thing that won\u2019t rust, mold or mildew.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this kitchen, McDaniel included a traditional barbecue grill and ventilation hood, flat-top grill, power burner, wok, warming drawer and multiple beverage refrigerators. The pi\u00e9ce de resistance, an Italian wood-burning pizza oven, is showcased floor to ceiling with teal blue tile that echoes the home\u2019s pool and lakeside location. The adjacent serving buffet counter includes a drop-in cooler, equipped with a drain. A sink enhances functionality of the 13&#8242; island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA sink is a \u2018must\u2019 for cleaning grill grates, pots and utensils,\u201d she stresses. \u201cBeverage centers are another essential, so when kids get out of the pool they don\u2019t have to go inside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this outdoor kitchen, weatherproof cabinetry is painted white and topped with recycled glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of my clients don\u2019t live here year \u2018round, so it\u2019s important to have products that are durable and maintenance free, and it\u2019s great that manufacturers are keeping up with colors and door styles that make an outdoor space look like a kitchen,\u201d she says.

A traditional barbecue grill, wok burner, burners in the island and warming drawer provide cooking flexibility, while multiple sinks, beverage refrigerators and an ice maker make entertaining easier.<br><em>Photos: Tim Hill<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Focal-Point Hearth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like McDaniel, Starck recently created an outdoor oasis that includes a generous list of appliances for his client who is an avid cook and entertainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019ll have 100 kids over for an Easter egg hunt!\u201d he remarks, noting a collaboration with Ron Zakary (architect). \u201cHe\u2019s quite the chef and he loves to entertain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central to the outdoor kitchen is the brick-lined, fieldstone-accented hearth, which houses a wood-fired parrilla grill with an adjustable grate \u2013 for more or less heat \u2013 and a pit for whole animal roasting. Both celebrate the homeowner\u2019s South American heritage.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very popular for his family to roast an entire animal,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s2\">Additional cooking apparatuses around the kitchen\u2019s perimeter include a traditional barbecue grill and a wok burner, which offers flat-top, griddle cooking. Burners in the island give him the flexibility to saut<\/span><span class=\"s3\">\u00e9<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> and boil sauces and other foods.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur client has the ability to cook so many different foods, all at the same time,\u201d comments Starck. \u201cSomeone can be at the traditional barbecue grilling burgers and franks. Another person can be cooking a whole lamb or pig and grilling on the wood-flame grill, while someone else can be saut<span class=\"s4\">\u00e9<\/span>ing or boiling something on the island burners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A warming drawer enhances his culinary versatility, as do multiple sinks, beverage refrigerators and an ice maker. An adjacent bar area boosts entertainment capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of warming drawers outdoors, especially if someone is cooking for a lot of people,\u201d notes the designer. \u201cI actually consider it a necessity. If you\u2019re cooking grilled chicken, sausages, steaks, burgers and franks, they can\u2019t all be ready at the same time. Warming drawers help stage each part of the meal by maintaining heat of cooked food, without overcooking it. Everything can be ready, and at serving temperature, at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIce makers are also great for entertaining since you don\u2019t have to buy ice,\u201d he adds. \u201cIt\u2019s also nice to have a side burner for heating foods. While this kitchen has multiple sinks, not everyone has the space or the budget to include one. A sink is a big undertaking, with plumbing and waste considerations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an outdoor space, ease of cleanup was also addressed with the inclusion of wood-look concrete countertops, concrete floors and custom, outdoor-rated cabinetry. Retractable screens keep critters, as well as insects, at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe entire area can be hosed down,\u201d he says, noting the inclusion of multiple drains throughout the space. \u201cIt\u2019s fun for us as designers to pull together a space that is highly functional. This client had a lot of wish-list items that we were able to check off. It\u2019s a great entertaining space with many different functions that he is able to use eight or nine months of the year.\u201d <\/span>\u25aa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many designers are busier than ever, creating spaces that reflect client personalities and needs.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7371,"featured_media":173843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"categories":[29388,29391],"tags":[29752,29883,5709],"class_list":["post-173842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kitchen-designs","category-outdoor-kitchen-design","tag-featured","tag-kbdn-may-2022","tag-outdoor-kitchen"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Beyond the Walls - Kitchen &amp;
