Pergola-Covered Kitchen with Stone Fireplace
Beside a Georgian colonial brick house with black shutters, a timber pergola shelters a stone fireplace, pizza oven, and bluestone patio framed by neat boxwood hedges.
Design notes
Colonial outdoor kitchens are symmetrical and quiet. Look for a brick or white-painted island on the house's axis, bluestone counters and floors, a pavilion with columns and a hipped or gabled roof, black lanterns and stainless kept to a minimum. Boxwood hedges frame the space, and the dining table sits in line with the back door.
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
