Personalized Design & 3D Planning

Every great outdoor kitchen begins with you. We start with a friendly consultation at your home (or virtually) to understand your space, cooking habits, and vision. Whether you’re an avid summer barbecuer, a gourmet pizza baker, or love cozy fall cookouts, we’ll tailor the design to fit your lifestyle. Our team then creates a detailed 3D design, letting you visualize your future outdoor kitchen before construction. You’ll see exactly how the layout flows with your patio or yard – from the placement of the grill and countertops to seating for family and friends. This collaborative planning process ensures no surprises and captures every detail, so your new outdoor kitchen feels like a natural extension of your home.

West Coast Style & Craftsmanship

We believe your outdoor kitchen should be as beautiful as it is functional. Inspired by British Columbia’s natural splendor, we often blend rich wood and rugged stone elements to reflect the scenery around you. Picture a solid cedar pergola framing your cooking area or a stone-clad island that echoes the mountain vistas or seaside views nearby. Our designers can craft a look that complements your home’s architecture – whether that’s a modern Vancouver patio or a rustic Shuswap lakeside deck – bringing a bit of that West Coast charm into your backyard. The result is a space that feels warm, inviting, and uniquely yours, finished with materials like natural stone, brick, or Concrete . And because we use quality craftsmanship, your outdoor kitchen won’t just look great – it will age gracefully through the seasons, developing character alongside your home.

Features Built for Outdoor Living

Your custom outdoor kitchen will have all the conveniences of an indoor kitchen, and then some. We integrate premium, weather-ready appliances and features so you can cook anything, any time. Some popular elements our British Columbia clients love include:

• Grills & Cooktops: High-end built-in BBQ grills (gas, charcoal, or pellet) for searing steaks or flipping veggie burgers, plus side burners for sauces or stir-fries.
• Refrigeration & Sinks: Outdoor-rated fridges to keep your drinks and ingredients cold, and sink stations with hot/cold water for easy prep and cleanup – perfect for year-round gatherings where everything is at your fingertips.
• Pizza Ovens & More: Options like wood-fired pizza ovens or smokers to enjoy seasonal cooking favorites – imagine baking artisan pizzas in summer or smoking brisket on a crisp autumn day.
• Custom Counters & Storage: Ample countertop space (in granite, concrete, or quartz) for serving and prep, and weatherproof cabinets to store your dishes, utensils, and secret BBQ spices. No more running inside – all your tools stay handy outside.
• Lighting & Heating: Integrated lighting for ambiance and safety after sunset, plus heaters or a built-in fireplace to stay warm on cool evenings. From misty coastal rain to frosty interior nights, you’ll be comfortable in every climate

Everything is built with all-weather materials – stainless steel, stone, treated wood, and high-performance composites – so your kitchen withstands the elements. We use heavy-duty steel framing and durable finishes designed to thrive through BC’s varied climate, from rainy winters to hot summers, year after year. Cabinets won’t warp, countertops won’t crack, and appliances are selected for outdoor use, ensuring you can fire up the grill any day of the year without worry.

Year-Round Enjoyment, BC Lifestyle Benefits

An outdoor kitchen isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a lifestyle enhancement. By cooking and dining under open skies, you’ll find yourself spending more quality time outdoors, which is something we treasure here in the Pacific Northwest. Host a summer salmon barbecue with friends as the sun sets late, or sip hot cocoa by your patio fireplace while a winter stew simmers on the side burner. Rain or shine, winter or summer, your outdoor kitchen keeps the family together in nature’s embrace. Many of our clients tell us their new outdoor kitchen quickly becomes the heart of their home’s outdoor life – a place where friends gather, kids help grill pizzas, and stories are passed around the table. You’ll make memories from casual weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings, all without leaving your backyard.

There are practical perks too. No more heating up your indoor kitchen on a 30°C July day – cook outside and keep your home cool. Strong cooking smells (like that tasty curry or fresh-caught fish) stay outdoors. And with everything you need outside, the chef is always part of the party – you can cook and socialize at the same time. Plus, a well-designed outdoor kitchen adds value and curb appeal to your home, especially in communities that prize outdoor living. It’s an investment in both your property and your personal enjoyment.

Built for All Seasons in Beautiful BC

British Columbia’s climate is famously diverse, and we design our outdoor kitchens to excel in every corner of the province. Thanks to the warming Pacific influence and our mountain ranges, BC experiences everything from mild, wet winters on the coast to hot summers and snowy winters inland. We account for these conditions in every build. Live on Vancouver Island or the rainy Lower Mainland? We can incorporate covered areas, proper drainage, and materials that shrug off moisture. High in the interior or the Kootenays with heavy snow? We reinforce structures for snow load, use non-slip finishes, and even integrate features like windbreaks or patio heaters for cozy winter use. Our designs are proven to handle the rain, sun, wind, and snow that Mother Nature sends. So go ahead – grill prawns in a January drizzle or bake bread in your wood-fired oven as autumn leaves fall – we’ve got you covered (literally, if you want a custom pergola or awning!).

Importantly, we build every outdoor kitchen with longevity in mind. Using commercial-grade construction techniques, like welded steel frames and marine-grade hardware, we ensure your kitchen stands strong for decades. In fact, our weatherproof stone and concrete finishes are so robust, we back them with long warranties for your peace of mind. It’s all about giving you a space that not only survives in BC’s climate, but thrives – looking great and performing flawlessly through countless seasons of use.
