Courtyard Outdoor Kitchen Beneath Stucco Arches
Surrounded by potted citrus and bougainvillea, this courtyard kitchen features cream stucco arches over terracotta pavers, a built-in stainless steel grill, a blue patterned tile backsplash, and a wooden dining table.
Design notes
Classic outdoor kitchens are built like a room of the house. Expect brick or dressed-stone piers, a gabled or hipped roof tied into the architecture, granite counters with a traditional edge and a proper hood over the grill. Proportions matter more than finishes here: symmetrical layouts, generous overhangs and a sensible work triangle keep the space usable for decades.
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
