Beautiful Weather for Outdoor Living

The fall season certainly brought the L-Shape outdoor kitchen theme along with the nicer weather. It seemed that we were building one L-Shape outdoor kitchen after another this fall. This project was completed in the Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes in Naples, Florida.

The following components were included:

4.1 CU outdoor refrigerator
4.1 CU/4.5 CU trim kit
Zephyr Cypress vent hood 36” Hood
Blaze Traditional Series 32” 4-burner grill
Smoker box for Traditional & LTE
Blaze 32” door & double drawer combo (under grill)
Under mount sink with high-arc faucet
Single vertical door (under sink)

The cabinet base housing the grill is 9’6″ in length. Coming off the front of the left side, the fridge section will be 6’0″ in length (as measured from the wall behind the grill cabinet). The base is framed with aluminum and wrapped with a wet weather backer board. The façade is the Leonardo stacked stone.
The countertop and back/side splashes are a level 3 Fontana granite. Coming off the back of the refrigerator side, the bar overhang is 4″ and the corners and rounds to 10″ at the center. The side/backsplash is 4″ in height, rising to 36″ high for a width of 36″, centered under the hood and behind the grill.

Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes

Welcome to Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes in Naples

Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes is notable for its active lifestyle, resort-style amenities, and intimate neighborhood setting. It is ideally located off Collier Boulevard in sunny Naples, placing residents within proximity of beautiful Marco Island and Gulf beaches, as well as a short drive from downtown Naples, with upscale shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. It’s time to find the setting for life’s next chapter. Your journey brought you here, but it’s not the destination. It’s a new beginning. A world of possibilities unfolds at your doorstep. The only question is why not? Why not an outdoor kitchen to compliment your beautiful outdoor living space? Elegant Outdoor Kitchens is here to help.

Add a Blaze Smoker Box to your Blaze Grill

You have bought a very convenient and efficient gas grill, but there is something lacking in there. It lacks the ability to give the food that traditional smoky flavor. A gas grill is perfect for direct and indirect grilling. Unfortunately, it does not perform well when it comes to smoking. Fortunately, Elegant Outdoors was here to emphasize that information. Our customers decided to add a Smoker box for Traditional & LTE grilling. And they are glad they did. Schedule your on-site outdoor living consultation now!

A Truly Grand Community – Custom Summer Kitchen

Custom Outdoor Kitchen with Blaze 32 Inch 4-Burner LTE Series Barbecue Grill

L-Shaped Summer Kitchen by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens

Vineyard Country Club Southwest Florida

This home is located in the Vineyards, a truly grand community. The customer had recently closed on this home, which had a huge outdoor living space but lacked a custo summer kitchen. The homeowners decided that an summer kitchen would be best situated in an area out near their pool. With a built-in configuration between the home and a pillar, the cabinet base housing the grill was 4’10” in length. Coming off the front of the right side, the section housing the refrigerator was 7’0″ in length (as measured from the existing pillar to the left of the refrigerator cabinet). The refrigerator side was a 2-tier cabinet base.

The custom summer kitchen base is framed with aluminum and wrapped with a wet weather backer board. The façade is a stacked stone per the drawings (Golden White). The Normandy granite countertop was a level 3 granite and was a close match to the existing granite on the interior of the home. Because the 2-tier bar top had 17″ depth and was going to be a showpiece, the customer made an additional trip back down to the granite yard for the layout. This allowed the customer to select specific parts of the slab for particular areas of the kitchen and bar top. This summer kitchen was worth the extra effort, and it turned out amazing.

The following components were included in this beautiful custom Summer kitchen by Elegant Outdoor Kitchen:

Blaze 32” 4-burner LTE series (LP, leak tested by the certified gas company)
Blaze rotisserie kit
Blaze 32” door & double drawer combo (under grill)
4.1 CU outdoor refrigerator
4.1 CU/4.5 CU trim kit
Blaze Dry Storage cabinet

Underlit Crystalo Granite Outdoor Kitchen Creates an Ambient Golden Countertop Glow

Posted on January 10, 2020 by admin - CAD - Computer Aided Outdoor Kitchen Design, Custom Outdoor Kitchen Contracting Services, Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, Outdoor Kitchen Built-in Grills, Outdoor Kitchen Construction, Outdoor Kitchen Construction Info, Outdoor Kitchen Construction Information, Outdoor Kitchen Contractor SWFL, Outdoor Kitchen Countertops, Outdoor Kitchen Design, Outdoor Kitchen Project Portfolio

Blaze 32 Inch 4-Burner LTE Series Barbecue Grill

Underlit or Backlit Glow – It’s Possible with Crystalo Granite

This is a unique and feature-rich custom outdoor kitchen build, the ambient glow that emanates from beneath the countertop at night is by far one of the most amazing features. This effect cannot be achieved with just any granite, though. We were able to achieve this remarkable effect due to the higher Quartz Crystal content (roughly 25% of the granite) of the Crystalo Granite.

Crystalo Granite – 25% Quartz Crystal Content

The construction of this L-shape custom summer kitchen by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens is as unique as it is beautiful, completed in Paseo. If you haven’t heard of Paseo, it’s a Stock Development Community that revolves around outdoor entertainment & dining, which makes this outdoor kitchen a perfect fit for the expanding community. The cabinetry housing the grill is 10’3″ in length. Coming off the front of the right side, the section that houses the outdoor refrigeration unit is 5’2″ in length (as measured from the back of the grill cabinet). The combination of materials used to finish this gorgeous outdoor kitchen area resulted in a great final product.

Staying true to form where framing is concerned, as with all of our outdoor kitchens, the base is framed with aluminum studs and wrapped with a wet weather Hardie backer type of board. The façade is a stacked stone (Leonardo – follow for more options).

The countertop and backsplash are an exotic style of Crystalo granite. The translucent nature of the granite allows for the glow of under cabinet lighting to shine through. Not only did we pack this kitchen full of ambiance, but it also contains a full range of functionality. The backsplash is 4″ in height around most of the rear wall. The backsplash makes a dramatic rise to 36″ on center directly behind the barbecue grill, meeting the Tradewind 36″ Hood. This backsplash to hood design minimizes the typical maintenance needed from the pesky smoke residue (but we can’t live without it!). The countertop overhang located at the rear of the refrigerator cabinet is 6″ at the corners, it arcs to 10″ at the center (for a total depth of 39″ at the center!). We included an additional 10″ overhang off the right side of the refrigerator cabinet to maximize the prep and countertop space of the island. Not only is this overhang creating more counter space, but the designer arc gives the island a certain aesthetic appeal when compared to a traditional rectangular shaped countertop protrusion. This outdoor kitchen has tons of counter space as well as welcomed leg room for dining and lounging at the bar. We’re confident that most have experienced the discomfort of a small overhang. It’s something we had in mind when designing this beautiful, custom outdoor kitchen.

Imitation Barbeque Island – The Highest Form of Flattery

Posted on December 20, 2019 by Andrea Poulton - Custom Outdoor Kitchen Contracting Services, Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, Outdoor BBQ Islands, Outdoor Kitchen Built-in Grills, Outdoor Kitchen Construction, Outdoor Kitchen Contractor SWFL, Outdoor Kitchen Design, Outdoor Kitchen Project Portfolio, Professional Barbecue Grills, Residential Outdoor Kitchen Design

Custom Outdoor Kitchen Designed by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens of SWFL

Verandah Community Located in Fort Myers, Florida – Elegant Outdoor Kitchens

The Imitation Barbeque Island Project at Verandah

This project was a repeat of a barbeque island we had built in the Verandah previously. The customer’s home was the same layout as their neighbor’s. They loved their neighbor’s outdoor kitchen configuration. Although the wall space in this area isn’t ideal, we were able to build an outdoor kitchen that was packed full of functionality and counter space. Who are we to argue with that kind of logic, when it works, it works.

The cabinet structure that houses the grill is 6’4″, with the perpendicular section that houses the refrigerator at 7’2″. The exposed sides of the island cabinets were finished with a Golden White stacked stone.
On the backside of the refrigerator cabinet, we added a 10″ granite overhang. The granite type for the counter-tops was a level 1 Amarillo Ornamental. We also used the same kind of granite for a 3 ft x 3 ft backsplash behind the grill. The backsplash is ideal when it concerns cleaning and overall upkeep of the island, which makes cleaning the smoke residue and build-up behind the grill simple.
In addition to the barbeque island, we also constructed a 6’8″ outdoor buffet, just like we had at their neighbor’s home.

The featured highlight of this project is the stacked stone backsplash located on the wall behind the grill cabinet; it cohesively ties the overall elements of the build together.

Got to Love Those Awesome Island Components

The Blank Slate Summer Kitchen

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Andrea Poulton - CAD - Computer Aided Outdoor Kitchen Design, Custom Outdoor Kitchen Contracting Services, Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, Outdoor BBQ Islands, Outdoor Kitchen Built-in Grills, Outdoor Kitchen Construction Information, Outdoor Kitchen Contractor SWFL, Outdoor Kitchen Design & Manufacturing, Outdoor Kitchen Ideas, Outdoor Kitchen Project Portfolio

Big Green Egg, Blaze Traditional series 32 Inch 4-burner gas grill, a Blaze 32 Inch double drawer/access door

The Summer kitchen Project Overview

This modern outdoor living kitchen is marvelous, constructed in a traditional L-Shape, and built in a home located in Port LaBelle in Hendry Co, Florida. Since an existing outdoor kitchen rough-in didn’t exist, this was considered a “blank slate” project, where our opinion is concerned. There was an existing 5’3″ screened opening, and perpendicular to that opening, there was a 10’4″ space in between the dual pillars. The customer already had a Green Egg Smoker, and he wanted to incorporate his seasoned Green Egg into the project. Also, he opted to add the following products to his modern outdoor living setup by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens of Fort Myers, Florida.

At our initial meeting, the customer selected the popular Golden White stacked stone, which ends up being the material that we use on the façade of the custom outdoor kitchen. Due to the customer’s busy schedule, he selected his favored granite choice via photograph. Here at Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, we do our best to work around the client’s busy schedule, and on some rare occasions, come up with creative solutions that make the process as smooth and seamless as possible. For each outdoor kitchen build, we make a special trip to the granite yard. The special trip allows us to pair the choice stacked stone sample with the current selections in the granite yard. Most customers meet with us at the granite yard; others will opt out of the trip entirely. In those cases, we take the stacked stone and pair it with various level 1 granite that matches the stacked stone that our client selected. We’ll then email the photos to the customer for their final decision regarding granite. In this case, the customer decided upon the level 1 Ouro Brazil granite with a half bullnose edge. The granite/stacked stone combination worked well, and the final product was extremely tasteful.

A Beautiful Summer Kitchen at the Preserve in Corkscrew

This outdoor kitchen was built in the Preserve at Corkscrew in Estero, Florida. If you have skimmed our Portfolio long enough, you may notice the design looks very similar to another outdoor kitchen we did in this community. It was no coincidence; these outdoor kitchens were built by next door neighbors.

When we initially met with this Customer, they had plans underway for a lanai extension and a roof covering and back wall (built using insulated panels). When there are other pieces to the puzzle, we love getting involved early on in the process. This allows us to make suggestions and gives the homeowner time to tweak other projects so that when the outdoor kitchen is finished it looks like it was part of the original build.

In this summer kitchen we installed the:

Blaze 32” Traditional series 4-burner grill
Blaze 32” double drawer/access door combo
Blaze narrow trash roll out with 42 quart bin
Blaze 5.2 cubic foot outdoor rated refrigerator
Blaze trim kit for the 5.2 CU FT fridge
an undermount sink with a high-arc faucet and the
Blaze single vertical access door

The Customer upped the ante by pairing the Silver Travertine stacked stone with a beautiful Level 3 Snow White granite. They also added a full backsplash centered behind the grill that was 33” high and 36” wide. This larger backsplash means less maintenance to keep the area behind the grill clean and free of smoke residue.

A New Outdoor Kitchen To Go With A New Pool

Posted on October 12, 2019 by Andrea Poulton - CAD - Computer Aided Outdoor Kitchen Design, Custom Outdoor Kitchen Contracting Services, Elegant Outdoor Kitchens, Outdoor BBQ Islands, Outdoor Kitchen Built-in Grills, Outdoor Kitchen Construction, Outdoor Kitchen Construction Information, Outdoor Kitchen Contractor SWFL, Outdoor Kitchen Project Portfolio, Residential Outdoor Kitchen Design

Might As Well Build an Outdoor Kitchen While We’re At It!

Building a new pool calls for a new custom outdoor kitchen by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens! This Summer kitchen build was the final part of a larger renovation project that the homeowner was undertaking. They had decided to spruce up the entire back lanai, which meant they were getting a new pool, pool deck, and of course the icing on the cake being an outdoor kitchen.

We met with the customer before the pool project began and after a discussion, we were able to come up with the perfect plan for their unique outdoor living space. Planning ahead is always recommended! The stem wall you see behind the outdoor kitchen was not originally scheduled to be part of the pool project. Without having the pool company add the wall and design the cage to fit, the customer would be forced to spend $1,000’s to modify a brand new pool cage. And without the addition of the wall, you would not be able to tuck the summer kitchen up into that corner. So, even for those who may feel like it is too early on in the process to think about the outdoor kitchen, we would encourage you to go ahead and reach out. We have no problem helping customers to plan ahead. Even if that means we have to wait several months before starting the project.

The dimensions of this outdoor kitchen are roughly 5’7” on one side and 5’2” on the other. This is the first time we have installed the Antique Onyx stacked stone. We love the color! It pairs nicely with the level 4 Arara Blue granite. The granite backsplash is 8” in height taking it up to the top of the wall.

As Far As the Components Are Concerned…

The components installed in this outdoor kitchen are the Blaze 25” 3-burner Traditional series grill with a Blaze smoker box for that great smoky flavor and a 25” double access door; along with the Blaze Ice Bin/Wine Chiller and a 24” horizontal access door.

Outdoor kitchens provide a lot of fun and we enjoyed just being a part of this project. Now time to grill!

The Unobtrusive L-Shape Outdoor Kitchen

Oaks at Estero – Southwest Florida

This outdoor kitchen was built in Oaks of Estero, a Neal Communities residential development. When the customer initially contacted us, they had two requests. The first was the construction of an L-shape island …simple enough. The second request was to maintain the beautiful view the homeowner had from the bedroom window of their pool and waterfall feature. To accomplish this, we designed the L-shape so that it was adjacent to the home and with the countertop sitting right underneath the bedroom window. The cabinet base housing the grill is 9’6″ in length, with the fridge cabinet being 9’5″ in length. Like the majority of our outdoor kitchens, the base is framed with aluminum and wrapped with a wet weather backer board.

The façade is the Silver Travertine stacked stone.

The countertop and back/side splashes are a level 1 Giallo Vitoria granite. The side/backsplash are 12″ in height.

The following components were installed in this summer kitchen:

Under mount sink with high-arc faucet
Blaze single vertical door (under sink)
Blaze infrared searing burner
Blaze 39” triple drawer/access door combo (under grill)
Blaze double trash & recycle drawer
Blaze 4.1 cubic foot outdoor rated refrigerator

Our Longest Outdoor Kitchen Build To Date

Close-up of Custom Summer Kitchen wit Blaze Components

Renaissance Community Fort Myers – Elegant Outdoor Kitchens of Southwest Florida

The Longest Outdoor Kitchen We’ve Constructed Yet!

This summer kitchen was built in a home by Stock Development The Renaissance in Fort Myers. The outdoor kitchen rough-in was put in place by the builder. This outdoor kitchen stands out because at 17’2” in length it holds the record for being the longest outdoor kitchen that we have built. This outdoor kitchen was designed with family in mind and of course, the much-loved grandchildren came up in that conversation! This outdoor kitchen needed to have a lot of functional components along with storage and counter space.

The installed components include:

Under mount sink with high-arc faucet
Single vertical door (under sink)
Tradewind 36” Hood
Custom stainless vent cover
Blaze 32” 4-burner LTE series
Blaze 32” door & double drawer combo (under grill)
Blaze LTE double side burner
Blaze double drawer (under burner)
Blaze rollout double trash/recycle drawer
Marvel 24″ outdoor refrigerator
Blaze 5.2 OD fridge trim kit
Blaze 30″ wide triple access drawer

The location of the vent stack determines the location of the grill, but all of the other components can be shifted around to best suit the homeowner’s needs. After a couple of revisions, we had the order of components exactly how the homeowner wanted them. We also shifted the sink a little further to the left to add additional counter space in between the sink and the grill.

The Silver Travertine stacked stone and level 3 Black Jet granite are complimentary finishing materials that work well together. We installed the Silver Travertine stacked stone backsplash all the way up the rear wall to the ceiling, giving this outdoor kitchen a sophisticated blend into the existing home. We believe the stacked stone does an amazing job of unifying the kitchen with the outdoor living environment.

It’s Not Difficult to Envision the Memories They’ll Create

It’s not difficult to envision all of the pool parties, cookouts, and celebrations that our clients will enjoy while using their brand-new custom outdoor kitchen by Elegant Outdoor Kitchens.
