Outdoor kitchens
Outdoor kitchens built for Florida evenings
In Southwest Florida the kitchen moves outside for much of the year. We design outdoor kitchens with the lanai, pool and landscape around them, and build them with our sister company, Lombardo Luxury Build Group.
Cook where you entertain
A kitchen that looks like it came with the house
The best outdoor kitchens are planned with everything around them: where guests sit, where the smoke goes, where the sun sets, how the bar faces the pool. That is why we draw them on the same plan as the landscape.
How we approach it
- 01
Grills, side burners, pizza ovens, refrigeration and bars
- 02
Islands in stacked stone, stucco or modern finishes with stone counters
- 03
Components and hardware chosen for outdoor and coastal exposure
- 04
Gas, power and water planned before the hardscape goes in
- 05
Lighting and audio so the kitchen works after dark
Kitchen layouts
From a grill station to a full summer kitchen
- 01
Lanai kitchens
Kitchens under the roof or screen, steps from the indoor kitchen, with waterfall-edge islands and pizza ovens.
- 02
Pavilion and pergola kitchens
Freestanding kitchens under a pergola or pavilion out in the garden, often with a fire pit nearby.
- 03
Lakefront and poolside bars
Stacked stone bars placed for the view, so whoever is cooking is still part of the party.
- 04
Modern outdoor kitchens
Clean-lined kitchens with integrated dining and screening for contemporary homes.

One team from plan to install
Once design was completed, Will handled all of the installation with Antonio and his crew. They sourced their trees and bushes from Homestead Florida. The products were of amazing quality, the installation was beyond my expectations and the final result was an impeccable job.

FAQ
Questions we hear most
What materials hold up best outdoors in Southwest Florida?
Salt air, sun and humidity are hard on finishes. Natural stone counters, masonry or stucco bases, and appliances and hardware rated for outdoor use hold up best, and marine-grade stainless is worth considering near the water.
Do I need a permit for an outdoor kitchen?
Gas, electrical and plumbing work and any new roof or structure typically require permits. Through Lombardo Luxury Build Group, the kitchen is built to the requirements that apply to your home.
Can an outdoor kitchen go under my existing lanai?
Often, if there is room for safe clearances and ventilation. If not, a lanai extension or a pergola can create the space.
How much value does an outdoor kitchen add?
In a climate where you can cook outside most of the year, a well-integrated outdoor kitchen is a real selling point. Read more in our outdoor kitchen guide.
