This custom outdoor kitchen centers around the grill, which is the heart of the space. To enhance this focal point, we designed a brick island that seamlessly integrates all the kitchen essentials: a top-of-the-line grill, a refrigerator, an ice maker and ample storage. The brick counter features a hollow interior, serving as a dual-purpose solution. Not only does it provide a sturdy workspace, but it also offers hidden storage for the homeowner’s additional grill equipment, ensuring a clutter-free environment.
To infuse the space with an authentic New Orleans charm, we incorporated black iron columns. These columns not only add structural support but also introduce a distinct architectural element reminiscent of the city’s historic ironwork, blending tradition with contemporary design.
For the materials, we carefully selected brick, acid-stained concrete and granite, all known for their durability and low maintenance. These materials were chosen for their ability to withstand the outdoor elements while requiring minimal upkeep. The acid-stained concrete brings depth and character to the flooring, while the granite countertops offer a sleek and elegant surface that complements the overall design. The result is an outdoor kitchen that balances function, durability and style, perfectly suited for entertaining in any season.
