Pallazio Floorplan Project Overview
Nicknamed “The Over Achiever,” this custom outdoor kitchen in Esplanade by the Islands lives up to its title. With a flawless blend of aesthetics, top-tier appliance integration, and thoughtful design, it promises extensive use and enjoyment. Built on a Pallazio floorplan, the layout maximizes utility without sacrificing elegance.
From seamless granite surfaces to a smart two-tier construction to accommodate screen openings, every detail was considered to make this kitchen feel like part of the original home-not a retrofit. The use of Arctic White stacked stone adds a clean, timeless contrast to the rich hues of the Calacatta Diamond Blue granite.
Pallazio Floorplan Design & Construction Details
- Two-Tier Cabinet Construction: To accommodate the 9’7″ rear wall and existing screen opening, a two-tier section was constructed, featuring:
-
- A depth matching the block wall
- Height 8″ above counter to align with the custom backsplash
- Stucco façade textured to match the home’s exterior
-
- Island Fabrication: Fabricated as a single seamless slab to avoid any breaks or interruptions in the surface. The 10″ overhangs on three sides enhance seating and dining space.
