Our <a href="/node/476">Laurel Woods Cellar</a> project was featured on the second page of the article and is a great example what a test kitchen is really all about.

Even though the days are getting shorter, this still a great time for dining outdoors.</p> <p>This summer we wrapped up the installation of a custom outdoor kitchen for the new homeowners of our <a href="/node/497">Rocky Ledge</a> project. The goal for this backyard update was to take advantage of the existing patio stone walls, expansive entertaining space and vanishing edge pool while giving the space more of a modern California feel. With a view like this, one can understand why this family wants to spend as much time outside as possible!</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_1.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 667px;" /></p> <p>This outdoor kitchen blends teak, stainless steel and concrete seamlessly. This U-shaped kitchen allows for anyone to move effortlessly around the space while prepping, grilling or dining.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_6.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 676px;" /></p> <p>Complete with all the amenities of an indoor kitchen, the refrigerator, grill and stovetop, storage space, beverage drawers and abundance of counter space allows for seamless entertainment regardless of party size.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_4.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 1228px;" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_3.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 665px;" /></p> <p>The island and cabinetry millwork are a result of our collaboration with <a href="http://www.aboutfacekitchens.com/" target="_blank">About Face Kitchens</a> of Peabody. We designed the kitchen, About Face Kitchens fabricated it and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ParadiseConstructionLlc" target="_blank">Paradise Construction</a> handled the installation. After the base of the island was fabricated, <a href="http://www.masspowder.com/" target="_blank">Feeley’s</a> of Quincy finished it off with a powder coat seal in this bronze color to give it that polished look that’s built to last. To protect these materials during the harsher weather months, custom canvas covers have been made to help protect the materials from the salt, sun and snow.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_2_1.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 1296px;" /></p> <p>All of the appliances in this outdoor kitchen are from <a href="https://www.lynxgrills.com/" target="_blank">Lynx</a>. This custom piece comes with six burners and a double burner stovetop. Whether you like your corn boiled or grilled, this cooktop has you covered. Want to roast up some marshmallows while you melt the chocolate on your graham crackers? This grill has you covered with the inside upper rack.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_7.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 667px;" /></p> <p>The deck furniture is from <a href="http://www.janusetcie.com/" target="_blank">Janus et Cie</a> here in Boston and with plenty of seating and places to lounge, this outdoor space has it all! So grab a blanket and head outside to soak up these gorgeous fall evenings.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/rockyledge_outdoorkitchen_5.jpg" style="width: 1000px; height: 667px;" /></p> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/explore-lda/list/kitchens">Kitchens</a></div></div></div> Fri, 25 Sep 2015 15:48:53 +0000 LDa 1674 at https://lda-architects.com
