At Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, every project tells a story-and our latest installation in the Esplanade Lake Club community off Alico Road is no exception. Nestled behind the walls of a beautiful Taylor Morrison Lazio floorplan, this outdoor kitchen is more than a functional space-it’s a statement piece crafted for both culinary adventure and refined relaxation.
Design that Demands Attention – The Lazio Floorplan
This L-shaped outdoor kitchen stretches the full length of the home’s 9’7″ lanai wall, extending 9’3″ outward, creating a spacious and seamless cooking and entertaining area. The layout maximizes functionality while maintaining a sleek, elegant footprint that enhances the home’s architectural flow.
Anchoring the design is a palette of Diana Royal stacked stone along the face of the cabinetry-offering warm, textural richness that harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding Florida landscape. Above the granite, we continued that same stacked stone in a custom backsplash along the 9’7″ wall, extending from the 8″ Ocean Beige granite backsplash all the way to ceiling height-excluding the stainless backsplash and vent hood area-for a dramatic and elevated finish.
A Kitchen Built to Perform
At the heart of the kitchen, the Blaze 32″ LTE PLUS Series Grill stands ready for sizzling steaks and weekend get-togethers, paired with a Blaze 24″ griddle plate that expands your culinary repertoire-from breakfast classics to stir-fry delights. A custom 36″ stainless steel 3D backsplash behind the grill complements the high-performance 36″ Tradewind PYRAMID hood, ensuring clean air and clean lines.
Thoughtful touches like the undermount sink with high-arc faucet and integrated soap dispenser add convenience, while storage solutions-including a Blaze 32″ drawer/door combo, 16″ triple drawer, and double rollout trash/recycle unit-ensure everything stays organized and within reach.
To keep refreshments chilled and ingredients fresh, we installed a 24″ Marvel outdoor-rated refrigerator, beautifully finished with a 5.6 OD trim kit to match the cabinetry and elevate the built-in look.
Beauty in the Details
This client chose Ocean Beige granite, a Level 3 selection known for its subtle movement and warm undertones, which ties in seamlessly with the stacked stone. A 10″ straight overhang along the back of the 9’3″ cabinet provides bar-style seating or a staging area for entertaining-perfect for enjoying sunset cocktails or game-day appetizers.
To complete the design with a touch of ambiance, we installed two elegant sconces on either side of the vent hood, adding both functional lighting and a stylish architectural accent.
