Complete your timber framed home with a fully custom outdoor kitchen, made to your order.
A timber framed home excels at connecting nature’s beauty with interior comforts. When it comes to the reverse, bringing indoor luxuries to the great outdoors, open-air kitchens are just the place to do so. These desirable outdoor rooms aren’t just a place to cook – they’re a hub for fresh air, connection, and memorable meals under a starry sky. A timber framed outdoor kitchen is luxury living at its finest. Harness the latest in high-end outdoor kitchen designs to transform any space into a desirable destination.
Flawless Layouts
Outdoor kitchens can upgrade a patio, be integrated into a covered porch or deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living, or be built as an entirely separate timber framed structure. Each of these can easily be customized to fulfill your vision for a go-to gathering spot.
A covered patio off the main kitchen area, like the ThistleWood (see the floor plan below!) or WalnutCanyon, is prime outdoor-kitchen real estate. Anything from outdoor seating to a simple grill and bar enhances your cooking and entertaining experiences.
Kitchens that blur indoor and outdoor living capture the best of both. Use existing walls, an outdoor fireplace, or a partition with accent materials like brick, stone, or barnwood for an extra-cozy ambiance.
And options for a detached outdoor kitchen are nearly endless. Fuse form and function with a statement timber-framed pavilion or pergola. In this Woodhouse pavilion, a half wall brings structure to the layout. A masterpiece fireplace anchors (and adds a bit of coziness to) the open-aired room.

Material Magic
Outdoor kitchens balance aesthetics with utility. Material selections matter, and when made thoughtfully, these choices can be an extension and expression of style, personality, and even values.
Upscale modular outdoor cabinetry is a practical solution to expanding kitchen functionality. You can opt for integrated grills, sinks, and beverage fridges. Today’s styles come in elegant designs with gorgeous profiles and modern lines for top-shelf sophistication.
Be mindful of the future with high-performance materials that minimize your consumer footprint. As an alternative to concrete’s environmental impact, soapstone counters and recycled flooring leave a lighter footprint environmentally.
And don’t miss this opportunity to reinforce your timber home’s vibe. For sleek and contemporary go for stainless steel, clean lines, and neutral colors. When balanced against a modern timber frame floor plan, like WalnutCanyon, you get a striking mix of handsome wood, industrial elements, and earthy warmth. Prefer a sophisticated, Old-World aesthetic? Imagine an outdoor kitchen on an elegant stone terrace, warmed with timbered touches overlooking a vineyard or pond. Add a glass of wine or cappuccino for European patio paradise.

Luxury Extras
Now that you have your dream layout and design, it’s time to dial it up with luxurious extras. Pizza ovens transform a simple dish into the main event. Free your guests from plumes of persistent smoke with luxury, high-performance electric grills that let you cook without smoke or gas emissions. Plus, an electric grill lets you take advantage of another hot trend: a smart kitchen. Control your grill temperature along with outdoor lighting and music system with your fingertip through a smartphone app.
Architectural elements make the joy of cooking even better. A screened-in porch keeps buzzing bugs at bay. Maximize seating with a stone or brick half-wall crowned with a flat seating surface. Integrated fire features like a fire table turn the classic campfire into a stylish experience.
