This 9’6” outdoor kitchen was built in the uber popular Lazio floorplan by Taylor Morrison in the Esplanade Lake Club in Fort Myers. It has, in our opinion, the most useful combination of components, which are the grill (and hood), sink, fridge and trash/recycle bin. If you are looking for a kitchen that will hit all your needs and don’t have tons of space, this is the perfect fit. Adding the stacked stone backsplash is icing on the cake.
Tradewind 36” Hood (with internal blowers) – The Tradewind 36” Hood ensures efficient ventilation, maintaining a smoke-free cooking environment. The powerful internal blowers effectively capture and remove cooking odors and grease. View Product

If this project doesn’t make you want to start sipping wine at sunset, nothing will! This was a fun project, lots of work, but so fun! There are some before and after photos below. You will see the space changed quite a bit from the first day through the last.

GL Homes earns major points in the outdoor living department with the design of this lanai! This kitchen was built in a Captiva floorplan with the extended lanai. At 22′ long, this kitchen sets the new record for our longest straight kitchen build. This kitchen provides tons of counterspace, perfect for entertaining! Typically we can hide any necessary seems behind the grill, but this kitchen was so long that the fabricators got to show off their skills by making a great book match seam at the sink.
The stucco base, with a sand finish, and level 3 Ocean Beige granite have a modern & coastal look.
To summarize, there is a ton of counterspace, tons of functionality and tons of style! We are so happy with how this one turned out and we had fun watching it all come together!
The following components were installed in this outdoor kitchen:
Ben & Andrea work in the field a lot so we get to know our customers pretty well. Something that we commonly here though, as the jobs are wrapping up, is that the kitchen is “too pretty to use.” While we love the comment, at the same time we are quick to reassure them, that no it is not too pretty to use. And this kitchen is no different, it’s pretty, but not too pretty to use!
The countertop is a level 6 Cintiliante granite and backsplash. The stacked stone was a special order stone by MSI. It is the Grey Oak Honed. When we first met with the customer, the customer said they wanted the stacked stone on the kitchen to match the stone on their water feature. We were able to order them a sample of the stacked stone so that they could check the match. Once confirmed, we knew we were ready to rock and roll.

This summer kitchen was built in a Summerwood by Pulte Homes in Bridgetown. The cabinet is 8’2″ long and we stayed a few inches away from the sliders. The cool thing about the Hestan components is they have a pattern on the doors and the grill hood stays put even if only opened partially.
The components included in this kitchen were:
Under mount sink with high-arc faucet
Heston 18” vertical door
Tradewind 36” Hood
Custom stainless stack chase
Custom stainless 3D backsplash behind grill (36″ W x 36″ H x 1 1/4″ D)

The color choices are one of our favorites, the Silver Travertine stacked stone & the level 2 Blue Sapphire granite. The Blue Sapphire granite was popular several years ago and then it was hard to find for the last few years. It’s now back and we were so excited that it was available for this customer. And like always, there is nothing that finishes the look of the kitchen like the Silver Travertine stacked stone backsplash.
The pictures below show the start to finish from planning to completion.
Outdoor kitchen rough-in feature by Pulte in Summerwood
This outdoor kitchen was built in DiVosta Builders Stellar model at Terreno. The kitchen cabinet is 10’7″ in length. It features the White Oak Multi-Face special order stacked stone. The special order stones are by MSI and can be viewed here. The countertops and 8″ backsplash are a level 1 Uba Tuba granite. This outdoor kitchen, like most of ours, is full of Blaze Grills components. An added bonus of Blaze is that all of the doors and drawers feature soft close construction. The following components were built into the outdoor kitchen.
This was an update to an outdoor kitchen that we had built several years ago. The homeowner decided they wanted to increase the functionality and beauty of the overall space. They had five objectives in mind: add a vent hood for that pesky smoke, replace the existing granite backsplash with a 3D stainless backsplash, install sconces, add a stacked stone backsplash along the wall and add a tongue and groove ceiling.
While we did not have an active role in the tongue and groove ceiling, we did put them in touch with a vendor who was able to coordinate their schedule with us and complete the project in a timely manner.
The before and after photos are shown below and what an incredible transformation. This homeowner transformed their lanai into a piece of artwork.
This L-shape outdoor kitchen project has a grill cabinet that is 12’6” (along the 13’4” wall) with an “open below” bar top that rests atop a 14” x 14” support pillar. The bar top comes out 6’0″ away from the 13’4″ wall.
The granite in this kitchen is a level 3 Steel Gray with the leather finish. The leather finish has a little more texture vs the typical smooth top of polished granite. It also has a bit of a softer feel to it.
This kitchen features the special order stacked stone: Sunset Silver. The special order stones are not always on backorder, but this one was. It did delay the completion of the project by about 7-8 weeks. However, the customer decided that the choice was worth the wait. We supported their decision and I think we all felt very validated once we saw it come together! It is absolutely gorgeous!
