Cooking program
Grills, refrigeration, sinks, storage, ovens, counters, and serving needs establish the functional brief.
Outdoor kitchens · Santa Rosa
A working kitchen, composed as part of the landscape.
Good outdoor cooking spaces balance equipment and utilities with comfort, circulation, material restraint, and the garden view.
The setting
The right scale depends on the household and the site.
Some clients need a compact grill and preparation station; others need a complete entertaining kitchen. We begin with how you cook, how many people gather, where the sun and wind arrive, and how the space connects to the indoor kitchen and the rest of the yard.
What makes it work
Plan the experience and the infrastructure together.
Comfort and circulation
Shade, seating, lighting, smoke, wind, and paths are considered before the footprint is fixed.
Complete installation
Utilities, masonry, paving, planting, and finish details are coordinated through one construction team.
Before you begin
Coordinate the kitchen with the patio beneath it.
An outdoor kitchen can change the requirements of an existing patio. Before retaining the current surface, review its condition, support, drainage, and the route for services. The weight and dimensions of the selected equipment should be known before the surrounding construction is detailed.
On a Santa Rosa property, consider how cooking, dining, and circulation work together when guests are present. A counter that looks generous on paper can leave too little room behind a chair. Ask which utilities and approvals are included in the proposal, which need specialist coordination, and how those decisions affect the sequence of work.
