Custom Kitchen Sixty

Chef-Inspired Outdoor Kitchen Example | Project #60

We created this chef-inspired outdoor kitchen for those who love to cook and want a professional, attractive, and durable setup. From the outset, Project #60 aimed to create a serious cooking space for multiple people, with high-end appliances complementing a clean, modern design.

Planning a Functional One-Wall Layout

This kitchen features a one-wall layout, keeping all appliances, prep areas, and storage close by, allowing several people to cook at once. This simple design streamlines workflow and suits outdoor chefs who want to stay organized and work quickly.

While planning, we worked with the client to ensure the layout supported a range of cooking styles, from high-heat grilling to slow smoking. With American Outdoor Cabinets’ flexible design options, we matched every detail to the client’s vision.
Before we started building, we used 3D software so the client could see the cabinet layout, appliance locations, and color and finish selections. This approach ensured every design choice felt right, so installation brought no surprises.

Modern Design Options: Color and Door Style

We suggested the Concrete color finish for this kitchen, choosing a modern gray that looks stylish now and for years to come. It coordinates well with the gray quartz countertop, which shows a soft, grainy pattern for added texture. Together, the colors complement the floor tiles, creating a cohesive, upscale space.

American Outdoor Cabinets offers several gray finishes: Dolphin, Concrete, Slate, and Charcoal. This allows homeowners to match their outdoor kitchen to their home or preferences.

We chose the Sport door style to give the kitchen a more polished look. This style, based on the classic shaker, features thin, rectangular CNC-cut grooves. These details modernize the cabinets while fitting a range of design styles.

Cabinetry Built for Professional Outdoor Use

A chef-inspired outdoor kitchen demands ample storage, and Project #60 delivers. Deep base cabinets provide ample space for cookware, utensils, and grilling tools, keeping everything you need within easy reach.
The cabinet configuration includes:

  • 24″ two-door cabinet for the built-in Komodo grill
  • 21″ three-drawer cabinet
  • 30″ two-door grill cabinet
  • 21″ one-door, one-drawer storage cabinet
  • 24″ two-door sink cabinet

All cabinets feature soft-close hidden hinges and drawer sliders made from outdoor-grade stainless steel. These components resist rust, work smoothly, and withstand heat, moisture, and heavy use; crucial for any professional outdoor kitchen.
We build the cabinets from HDPE, a high-quality outdoor material that won’t rot, warp, crack, or fade. HDPE resists moisture and UV rays and is easy to maintain, making it well-suited for outdoor kitchens in the Florida climate.

Professional-Grade Outdoor Appliances

This chef-inspired outdoor kitchen includes top-quality outdoor cooking appliances:

  • A 30″ Alfresco Grill for powerful, consistent grilling
  • An Alfresco built-in side burner with a recessed top for added protection from the elements
  • A Coyote Asado Ceramic Grill, a kamado-style unit capable of grilling, smoking, and searing
  • A Marvel outdoor refrigerator with fan-forced cooling for fast, even temperature control
  • A marine-grade stainless steel sink paired with a sleek, modern kitchen faucet

With these appliances, you can prepare dishes from simple to advanced.
