Project Name: Making More With Less

Project Design Layout: Straight

Project Materials Description: Elegant Outdoor Kitchens: The owners decided to go with a whopper of a grill. They selected the Blaze 44" 4-Burner Professional Series with the Rotisserie Kit. Beneath the grill, they opted for the 39" triple drawer/access door. And, to stay hydrated on those warm summer days, the Blaze 4.1 cubic foot outdoor refrigerator with the trim kit was installed. The materials used were Golden White stacked stone and a level 1 Tan Brown granite countertop, pairing harmoniously with the existing colors of their lanai. The granite backsplash is 4" in height for the length of the kitchen, with a raised center behind the grill measuring 52" wide and 15" tall at the corners with an arch that reaches 21" at the apex. The total width of the outdoor kitchen is 7'4", further proving one doesn't need much room to achieve their goals.

“Elegant Outdoor Kitchens is one of the easiest, friendliest, and most professional companies I have ever worked with. When interviewing other companies, some companies would not even come out to look at the lanai area. I knew this company would be great from the start when Andrea came out to look at our lanai a couple times and blue-taped the area before we even signed a contract. From helping select granite to sending reminders of appointment times, this company goes above and beyond. The quality of work is amazing, too. Watching Ben and his team, you can tell they take pride in their work and are very meticulous to make sure the job is done correctly.

I look forward to hosting many pool parties with our stunning outdoor kitchen!”

This summer kitchen was built in a GL Home in Marina Bay. The lanai space was a little unique in that it had a wall running at a 45° angle. We had to be cognizant not to allow the outdoor kitchen to encroach on the view of the window to the left or the walkway from the sliders on the right. Luckily with our 3D design process, the space was drawn to scale and we were easily and accurately able to plan out our execution.
