This project almost doubled the living space, both indoor and outdoor, for a growing family. The 1860’s cross-plan house sat on a double lot which had a large parking lot covering much of the property. We added space to the kitchen, which now opens out to a patio. A two-story addition has a library, office and new master suite overlooking the new garden.
This modern outdoor kitchen pavilion blends functionality with contemporary design, offering a perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertainment. The structure is framed with sleek steel columns, supporting a pitched roof that provides shelter while maintaining an open and airy feel. A standout feature of the pavilion is the expansive folding glass and steel doors that seamlessly transition from indoor to outdoor living spaces. When open, these doors invite a natural breeze, creating an effortless connection between the kitchen and the surrounding landscape.
The kitchen is fully equipped with premium appliances, including a built-in pizza oven, which becomes the heart of the space. Its stone finish and authentic design provide both form and function, allowing for perfect wood-fired pizzas under the open sky. The counter area features an eye-catching cast glass bar countertop that blends artistry with practicality. The textured, translucent surface catches the light beautifully, creating a striking focal point for guests to gather around. Whether for casual cocktails or a gourmet meal, this pavilion offers a sophisticated yet inviting space for cooking, dining, and entertaining.
