Breeze Block Patio with Grill Station
A mid-century modern patio features a concrete paver terrace lined by a breeze block wall, post-and-beam flat roof overhang, wood grill station with concrete countertop, and wooden dining table.
Design notes
Mid-century outdoor kitchens are low, linear and flush with the house. Look for a single long counter of concrete or terrazzo, teak or slatted cabinet fronts, a flat roof or beam overhang for shade, a breeze-block backdrop and bar stools in bent steel. Keep everything on one line and let the pool and lawn beyond be the view.
What to look for
- The work triangle — grill, sink and fridge within a few steps
- Ventilation: a hood, an open gable or clear sky above the grill
- Where guests sit relative to the cook
