THE OUTDOOR KITCHEN ERA

Taking inspiration from our transatlantic neighbours, outdoor cooking is no longer the domain of a charcoal BBQ and wonky side table. Now firmly in the permanent fixture camp, design your outdoor kitchen with the same level of detail as its indoor counterpart. Consider access to water and power supply, and plan to maximise built-in cooking zones, prep areas, storage and cover. Aesthetically, aim for refinement over commerciality, with natural stone, concrete worktops, weather-resistent cabinetry, fridges, integrated dining areas and muted palettes.
