Custom Outdoor Kitchen Islands with Serene Cabinetry

Custom Outdoor Kitchen Islands with Serene Cabinetry

A standout feature of the renovated showroom is the collection of outdoor kitchen islands constructed with Serene cabinets. Gappsi is a Serene cabinetry dealer in New York, offering homeowners customizable outdoor kitchen solutions.

These cabinets feature a tubular aluminum structure with a double-wall exterior construction, designed to provide strength and support for outdoor countertop installations.

The cabinetry comes in a variety of configurations, letting homeowners create an outdoor kitchen that fits their space and cooking needs. Soft-closing cabinet features add convenience, while customizable sizing lets you design islands for compact patios, expansive entertainment areas, and everything in between.

Sink Islands with Seating and Storage

One featured island combines food prep, cleanup, storage, and seating in a single design.

The island features a Ruvati sink with compatible attachments and accessories, making food prep and cleanup easier. Its layout also includes space for bar stools, creating a casual seating area where family members and guests can gather while meals are prepared.

This island is especially useful for homeowners who want their outdoor kitchen to serve as both a cooking area and an entertainment destination.

Grill Islands with Refrigeration and Accessories

Another display highlights how thoughtful planning can make an outdoor kitchen more organized and efficient.

This island features a Hestan grill, a spice cabinet, and a three-drawer refrigerator configuration. Additional displays show drawers beneath grills and doors and cabinets beneath other appliances.

Grill Islands with Refrigeration and Accessories

These details show the importance of incorporating storage, refrigeration, and easy access to cooking essentials into the original design, rather than treating them as afterthoughts.

With customizable Serene cabinetry, homeowners can plan dedicated spaces for utensils, spices, food preparation equipment, and other outdoor cooking necessities.

Explore Dekton and Granite Countertop Options

Choosing the right countertop is an important part of outdoor kitchen design. Gappsi’s renovated showroom displays a variety of countertop colors and finishes, including the latest Dekton selections and popular granite options.

Dekton offers a contemporary appearance with a broad range of colors and surface styles. The showroom features a black Dekton surface with a leather finish, inspiring homeowners who prefer a modern, textured look.

Visitors can also explore other Dekton colors to find options that complement their cabinetry, grills, patio materials, and overall landscape design.

For those who prefer natural stone, the showroom features popular granite countertop choices. Granite provides distinctive natural patterns and color variations, making each selection visually unique.

By displaying these materials alongside outdoor kitchen cabinetry and appliances, Gappsi helps customers envision how different finishes work together in a complete installation.

Italian Wood-Fired Pizza Ovens from Clementi and Rosso Fuoco

Italian cooking traditions take center stage in the Gappsi showroom, which features an extensive collection of wood-fired and dual-fuel ovens.

These appliances let homeowners bring the experience of traditional Italian pizza making and outdoor oven cooking into their backyards.

Clementi Pizza Ovens

The showroom features several Clementi oven options, including wood-fired and dual-fuel models.

You can install the Clementi pizza oven in different ways, depending on the model and the overall kitchen design. Options include placing the oven on its own stand, installing it on a suitable countertop, or incorporating it into a custom masonry structure.

The Clementi Moderno oven offers additional flexibility, with gas and wood-firing capabilities. Its cart-mounted stand makes it practical for certain outdoor layouts, and it comes with pizza-making accessories such as peels and brushes. An optional tray with an arm can also be used for grilling inside the oven and removed when not needed.

Another featured product is the Clementi Elite stove and oven. This wood-fired unit combines an oven with a stove and is designed to circulate hot air through upper openings, helping distribute warmth into the surrounding area. Its design makes it a strong option for outdoor cooking spaces where extra heat may be desirable.

As with any outdoor heating appliance, follow the manufacturer’s requirements for installation, ventilation, clearances, and weather protection.

Rosso Fuoco: Three Distinct Italian Oven Designs

Rosso Fuoco: Three Distinct Italian Oven Designs

At the front of the showroom, Gappsi displays three Rosso Fuoco wood-fired ovens: the Clessidra, Cubo, and Sedicioni.

Each model offers a different design and cooking experience, letting visitors compare styles and choose the oven that best suits their outdoor kitchen.

These ovens are designed for outdoor use, including cold-weather environments when installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Depending on the model and installation requirements, you can display them on stands, install them on suitable countertops, or incorporate them into masonry structures.

These three distinct designs show how an Italian oven can be both a practical cooking appliance and a focal point in an outdoor living area.

Eldorado Fire Pit Barbecue: Cooking Meets Outdoor Ambiance

The showroom also features the Eldorado fire pit barbecue, which combines outdoor cooking with the atmosphere of a fire feature.

Available in powder-coated black or Corten, the Eldorado offers two distinct visual styles. Black creates a clean, contemporary appearance, while Corten provides a weathered, industrial-inspired aesthetic.

Depending on the model and installation specifications, you can incorporate the unit into a masonry structure, install it on its own stand, or place it on a suitable countertop.

This versatility lets homeowners explore different ways to integrate a fire pit barbecue into a patio, outdoor kitchen, or entertaining area.

For those who enjoy gathering around a fire while cooking outdoors, the Eldorado offers another option to consider when planning a customized outdoor living space.

Louvered Pergola with Wood-Burning Pizza Oven in Rocky Point NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view our Louvered Pergola with Wood-Burning Pizza Oven in Rocky Point NY

Creating a truly functional outdoor living space is about more than adding a grill and a patio. Today’s homeowners want outdoor kitchens and entertaining areas that offer the comfort, convenience, and versatility of indoor living while still letting them enjoy the outdoors. Gappsi recently completed a beautiful outdoor living project in Rocky Point, NY, combining an existing natural stone outdoor kitchen with a custom louvered pergola and Rossofuoco Clessidra wood-burning oven.

This project shows how thoughtful architectural features, modern technology, and premium outdoor cooking equipment can enhance an existing outdoor kitchen. The result is a comfortable, highly functional space designed for cooking, entertaining, and enjoying time outdoors year-round.

Enhancing an Existing Outdoor Kitchen

Rather than replacing the homeowner’s existing outdoor kitchen, Gappsi designed the new pergola system around the kitchen that was already in place.

The existing kitchen features beautiful natural stone construction, giving the space a timeless and substantial appearance. The kitchen also features a leather-finished countertop, which adds texture and character while providing a durable work surface for preparing and serving food. A built-in sink adds another layer of convenience, allowing the homeowner to wash, rinse, and prepare food without constantly going inside the house.

Because the kitchen was already an important part of the backyard, the goal was to build upon it rather than start over. The new louvered pergola provides an architectural roof system over the kitchen, creating a more defined outdoor room while maintaining the backyard’s open-air character.

A Custom Two-Section Louvered Pergola

One unique aspect of this Rocky Point project is the design of the two-section louvered pergola.

Instead of using one uniform structure, Gappsi connected two louvered sections together. One section was designed larger than the other to accommodate the existing outdoor kitchen and provide the necessary overhead coverage.

This approach let the pergola follow the layout and proportions of the existing space, rather than forcing the kitchen to conform to a standard-size structure. Custom design matters when upgrading an existing outdoor living area because every property has different dimensions, elevations, layouts, and entertaining needs.

Adjustable louvers give homeowners control over sunlight and overhead coverage. For an open-air experience, homeowners can adjust the louvers to let in more sunlight and sky. When homeowners want shade or protection from changing weather conditions, they can close the louvers.

Motorized louvered pergolas have become a popular feature in Long Island outdoor living because they combine architectural design with practical functionality. Gappsi has incorporated motorized pergolas into outdoor kitchens and other backyard spaces, creating flexible environments you can enjoy in a variety of conditions. (Gappsi Group)

Motorized Louvers Controlled by Remote

Convenience was an important part of this Rocky Point installation.

The pergola’s louvers are motorized and remote-controlled, allowing the homeowner to adjust the roof without manually operating each louver. This makes it easy to change the outdoor kitchen environment while cooking, dining, or entertaining guests.

The system also incorporates integrated lighting, making the space useful after sunset. Outdoor kitchens often become evening gathering spaces, and proper lighting can make a big difference in both functionality and ambiance.

With lighting built into the pergola, homeowners can keep preparing food, cooking, dining, and entertaining after the sun goes down without relying solely on temporary or portable lighting.

A Built-In Gutter System for Better Drainage

Another practical feature of this louvered pergola is the integrated gutter system installed around the perimeter.

Drainage is an important consideration when designing an outdoor structure, especially one with an outdoor kitchen. A properly designed gutter system directs water away from the covered area instead of letting rainfall fall from the roof edges.

The combination of adjustable louvers and integrated drainage makes the pergola more than a decorative feature. It becomes an important part of the outdoor kitchen’s overall functionality.

For Long Island homeowners, where outdoor spaces can experience everything from intense summer sun to rain and changing seasonal conditions, designing for multiple weather conditions can help make an outdoor living area more useful.

Rossofuoco Clessidra Wood-Burning Oven

One of the highlights of this Rocky Point outdoor kitchen project is the addition of a Rossofuoco Clessidra wood-burning oven.

The Clessidra brings the experience of traditional wood-fired cooking directly into the backyard. Manufactured by Rossofuoco in Italy, the oven features a dual combustion system that allows direct and indirect cooking. According to Rossofuoco, the Clessidra can be used with the fire directly in the cooking chamber, in a separate combustion chamber below, or with both systems depending on the cooking method. (Rossofuoco®)

That versatility makes the Clessidra much more than a pizza oven.

Homeowners can use a wood-burning oven for pizzas, breads, roasted meats, vegetables, casseroles, and other dishes. The ability to use different cooking methods gives outdoor chefs additional flexibility when preparing meals for family and guests.

Gappsi has also highlighted features of the Clessidra such as its thermostat, timer, internal lighting, and separate fire chamber, all designed to provide greater control over the cooking process. (Gappsi Group)

Gappsi Is a Rossofuoco Importer

Gappsi is proud to offer the Rossofuoco Clessidra to homeowners seeking a premium outdoor cooking experience.

As an importer of the Rossofuoco oven, Gappsi gives Long Island homeowners the opportunity to see the Clessidra in person at the Gappsi showroom in Smithtown, NY, before deciding. The showroom lets you see the oven’s design and construction up close and discuss how it can fit into an outdoor kitchen or backyard renovation. Gappsi’s showroom is located at 1015 West Jericho Turnpike in Smithtown. (Gappsi Group)

Seeing a premium outdoor appliance in person can be especially helpful when planning a major outdoor living project. Homeowners can evaluate the size, appearance, cooking configuration, and overall design before deciding how to incorporate the oven into their space.

A Wood-Fired Cooking Experience at Home

There is something special about cooking with a wood-burning oven. The fire becomes part of the experience, and preparing food outdoors can turn an ordinary meal into an occasion.

For Rocky Point homeowners, the Rossofuoco Clessidra offers a new way to use their outdoor kitchen, while the louvered pergola creates a more comfortable environment for cooking and entertaining.

The homeowners have been extremely happy with the oven’s performance, making it an important and successful addition to the project.

The combination is particularly effective because the pergola and oven serve different but complementary purposes. The Clessidra provides the cooking experience, while the louvered pergola creates the surrounding environment.

Creating a Complete Outdoor Entertaining Space

This Rocky Point project shows how to transform an existing outdoor kitchen without completely rebuilding the space.

The natural stone kitchen, leather-finished countertop, sink, wood-burning Rossofuoco Clessidra oven, motorized louvered pergola, integrated lighting, remote-controlled louvers, and perimeter gutter system all work together as one cohesive outdoor living area.

Instead of simply adding another appliance or covering the kitchen with a basic roof, Gappsi created a space designed around how the homeowners actually want to use their backyard.

Whether they are preparing pizza, cooking dinner, entertaining friends, or simply enjoying a summer evening outdoors, the new pergola and oven provide both functionality and an elevated outdoor experience.

Custom Outdoor Living Design by Gappsi

Every backyard presents different opportunities and challenges. When designing a new outdoor living space, consider existing outdoor kitchens, patios, landscaping, architectural features, and property layouts.

The Rocky Point, NY project shows the value of a customized solution rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The two connected louvered pergola sections were designed to accommodate the existing kitchen, while the Rossofuoco Clessidra served as a functional focal point.

For homeowners considering an outdoor kitchen upgrade, pergola installation, a wood-fired pizza oven, or a complete backyard transformation, Gappsi can bring the elements together into one cohesive design.

Interested in adding a louvered pergola or Rossofuoco wood-burning oven to your Long Island outdoor kitchen? Visit the Gappsi showroom to see the Clessidra in person and explore the possibilities for your own backyard.

Outdoor Wolf Kitchen & Pavilion in Merrick NY | Custom Outdoor Living by Gappsi

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Outdoor Wolf Kitchen & Pavilion in Merrick, NY | Custom Outdoor Living by Gappsi

Creating a fully functional and visually striking outdoor living space requires thoughtful design, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship. This project in Merrick, NY, showcases exactly how those elements come together to transform a backyard into a luxurious, all-season retreat. Gappsi designed and installed a 16×36 framed pavilion that seamlessly integrates comfort, functionality, and high-end outdoor kitchen features, making it an ideal space for entertaining and relaxation.

A Custom Pavilion Designed for Year-Round Living

At the core of this project is the 16×36 framed pavilion, which serves as the structural and aesthetic anchor of the entire outdoor space. The pavilion provides both shelter and definition, allowing the homeowner to enjoy the outdoors regardless of weather conditions. Its size offers ample room to create distinct zones within the same structure, maximizing usability without compromising flow or openness.

The layout was strategically planned to accommodate three primary functions: a lounge area, a dining space, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Each section is thoughtfully positioned to create a natural progression from one area to the next, making the space feel cohesive and inviting.

A Warm and Inviting Fireplace Lounge

One side of the pavilion features a stunning wood-burning fireplace that immediately draws attention and sets the tone for the space. The fireplace was custom-built and veneered with clay brick, adding a timeless and rustic aesthetic that complements the overall design. Beyond its visual appeal, the fireplace serves a practical purpose by extending the usability of the outdoor space into cooler months.

In front of the fireplace, the client created a comfortable couch seating area, turning this section into a cozy lounge perfect for relaxing evenings or intimate gatherings. The warmth of the fire, combined with the soft seating arrangement, creates a welcoming atmosphere that encourages people to linger and unwind.

A Central Dining Area for Entertaining

Positioned in the center of the pavilion is the dining area, which acts as the transitional hub between the lounge and kitchen spaces. This placement ensures easy access from both sides, making it ideal for hosting guests and serving meals.

The open layout allows for a full-sized table and chairs while maintaining enough space for movement and interaction. Whether it’s a casual family dinner or a larger gathering, the dining area is designed to handle a variety of occasions with ease. Its central location also keeps guests connected to both the cooking and relaxation zones, enhancing the overall social experience.

A High-End Outdoor Wolf Kitchen

On the opposite side of the pavilion, Gappsi constructed a fully customized outdoor kitchen using premium materials and top-tier components. The kitchen features Wolf powder-coated aluminum cabinets, known for their durability, weather resistance, and sleek, modern appearance. These cabinets not only provide ample storage but also maintain their integrity in outdoor conditions.

To enhance the kitchen’s visual appeal, the back wall was veneered with Eldorado stone. Specifically, the design uses wood-look planks from Eldorado, which are actually made from cement board. This innovative material offers the aesthetic of natural wood while providing the durability and low maintenance of stone. The result is a sophisticated backdrop that adds texture and depth to the kitchen area.

The countertop is crafted from black granite with a leather finish, a choice that balances elegance with practicality. The leathered surface offers a matte finish with subtle texture, reducing glare and providing greater resistance to fingerprints and smudges, ideal for outdoor use.

Premium Appliances and Functional Design

Functionality is a key component of any outdoor kitchen, and this project delivers on every level. The kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel sink, making food prep and cleanup convenient and efficient. Paired with a Delta grill, the setup provides everything needed for high-performance outdoor cooking.

The layout of the kitchen is designed for efficiency, ensuring that all essential elements are within easy reach. From prepping ingredients to grilling and serving, the workflow is smooth and intuitive. This attention to detail enhances the overall cooking experience and makes the space as practical as it is beautiful.

Durable and Elegant Natural Stone Flooring

The flooring throughout the pavilion is finished with Melfi limestone, a natural stone known for its durability and timeless appeal. This material not only complements the overall design but also provides a stable surface that can withstand outdoor conditions.

To enhance both the appearance and longevity of the limestone, a multi-step sealing process was applied. First, a color-enhancing sealer was applied to bring out the stone’s natural tones and richness. This step adds depth and vibrancy, making the flooring stand out visually.

Following that, a natural stone treatment was applied as a protective sealer over the color enhancer. This additional layer helps guard against moisture, stains, and wear, ensuring that the flooring maintains its beauty over time. The result is a surface that is both visually appealing and highly resilient.

Seamless Integration of Design Elements

One of the standout aspects of this Merrick, NY project is how seamlessly all the elements come together. The combination of materials, clay brick, Eldorado stone, black granite, and Melfi limestone, creates a balanced and cohesive aesthetic. Each component was carefully selected not only for its individual qualities but also for its contribution to the overall design.

The pavilion structure ties everything together, providing a unified space that feels both expansive and intimate. The thoughtful layout ensures that each area serves its purpose while remaining connected to the rest of the space.

Elevating Outdoor Living

This project exemplifies how a well-designed outdoor space can significantly enhance a home’s functionality and value. By incorporating a pavilion, fireplace, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, the homeowner now has a versatile environment that supports a wide range of activities.

From quiet evenings by the fire to lively gatherings with friends and family, the space is designed to accommodate it all. The use of high-quality materials and expert installation ensures that it will continue to perform and impress for years to come.

The Outdoor Wolf Kitchen and framed pavilion in Merrick, NY, is a perfect example of modern outdoor living done right. It combines luxury, durability, and thoughtful design to create a space that is both beautiful and highly functional.

Every detail, from the clay brick fireplace to the leathered granite countertop and sealed limestone flooring, reflects a commitment to quality and craftsmanship. This project not only meets the homeowner’s needs but also sets a standard for what an outdoor living space can be in today’s homes.

For anyone considering an outdoor upgrade, this installation serves as inspiration for what’s possible when design expertise and premium materials come together.

Clessidra Outdoor Pizza Oven Installation in Syosset NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Clessidra Outdoor Pizza Oven Installation in Syosset, NY

Upgrading an outdoor kitchen is one of the most rewarding ways to enhance both your home’s value and your lifestyle. At Gappsi, we recently completed a custom installation in Syosset.  It featured the beautifully engineered Clessidra Oven, a premium Italian-made oven designed for both performance and versatility. This project perfectly demonstrates how thoughtful design, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship can transform an existing space into a fully upgraded outdoor cooking experience.

Reimagining an Existing Outdoor Kitchen

The homeowners already had an outdoor oven setup, but it had become outdated and no longer met their needs. Rather than starting from scratch, our team evaluated the existing structure and identified an opportunity to repurpose the original footprint. The platform where the old oven once stood became the foundation for a completely refreshed and modernized installation.

We carefully removed the old oven and dismantled the top surface, preparing the area for a new, structurally sound base. This approach not only preserved the integrity of the original design but also reduced unnecessary demolition, making the upgrade more efficient and cost-effective.

Custom Stonework with Fiorito Travertine

A key element of this project was the use of Fiorito Travertine.  A natural stone known for its warm tones and durability, ideal for outdoor applications. To create a cohesive and visually appealing platform, we installed two-inch coping along the perimeter, giving the structure a clean, finished edge.

The interior surface was finished with a classic French pattern, adding texture and visual interest while maintaining a timeless aesthetic. This combination of materials and design techniques ensures that the oven not only performs exceptionally but also integrates seamlessly with the surrounding outdoor space.

The Clessidra Oven: Italian Craftsmanship at Its Finest

Manufactured by Rossofuoco in Italy, the Clessidra oven stands out for its innovative design and superior functionality. Unlike traditional wood-fired ovens, this model offers both direct and indirect cooking capabilities. This gives homeowners greater flexibility in how they prepare meals.

Wood can be burned directly inside the cooking chamber for high-heat applications like pizza.  In addition in a separate lower chamber for more controlled, indirect cooking. This dual-function system allows for a wide range of culinary possibilities, from baking artisan bread to slow-roasting meats and vegetables.

The oven is also equipped with a built-in interior light, making it easy to monitor cooking progress even in low-light conditions. Additional features include integrated food trays and wood storage trays, enhancing both convenience and efficiency during use.

Flexible Installation Options

One of the advantages of the Clessidra oven is its versatility in installation. It comes with its own stand, allowing freestanding placement, but it can also be installed directly on a countertop or a custom-built base, as we did in this project. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for a variety of outdoor kitchen layouts, whether you’re working with a compact patio or a large backyard entertaining area.</p>

In this case, integrating the oven into a custom travertine platform created a seamless, built-in look that elevates the entire space. The result is a cohesive design that feels intentional and professionally executed.

Enhancing Outdoor Living in Syosset

For these homeowners in Syosset, the new Clessidra oven represents more than just an upgrade; it’s a lifestyle enhancement. Outdoor cooking becomes an experience rather than a task, bringing family and friends together around authentic, wood-fired meals.

Having used their previous oven for many years, they already understood the value of outdoor cooking. This new installation takes that experience to the next level, offering improved performance, greater versatility, and a more refined aesthetic.

Delivered and Installed by Gappsi

This project was completed and delivered by Gappsi, based in Smithtown. Our team specializes in high-end outdoor living solutions, including patios, kitchens, masonry, and landscape design. Every project we take on is customized to meet the specific needs and preferences of our clients, ensuring a result that is both functional and visually stunning.</p>

From removing the old structure to installing the new oven and finishing the stonework, every step of this project was handled with precision and attention to detail. Our goal is always to create spaces that our clients will enjoy for years to come—and this installation is no exception.</p>

Why Upgrade Your Outdoor Oven?

If you currently have an older outdoor oven or are considering adding one to your space, upgrading to a modern, high-performance model like the Clessidra offers several benefits:</p>

  • Improved Cooking Versatility: Direct and indirect cooking options expand your menu possibilities.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Better heat retention and fuel usage.
  • Modern Features: Built-in lighting, trays, and ergonomic design.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: High-end materials and craftsmanship elevate your outdoor space.
  • Increased Property Value: A well-designed outdoor kitchen is a strong selling point.

This Syosset project is a perfect example of how upgrading a single feature, like an outdoor oven, can transform an entire space. By combining the elegance of Fiorito Travertine with the advanced functionality of the Clessidra oven, Gappsi delivered a solution that is both beautiful and highly practical.</p>

Whether you’re replacing an existing unit or building a new outdoor kitchen from the ground up, investing in quality materials and expert installation makes all the difference. With the right design and equipment, your backyard can become a true extension of your home, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and creating unforgettable meals.</p>

Outdoor Kitchen Built on a TimberTech Deck in Dix Hills

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Outdoor Kitchen Built on a TimberTech Deck in Dix Hills

Creating an outdoor living space that combines durability, functionality, and visual appeal requires thoughtful planning and expert craftsmanship. This recently completed backyard project by Gappsi showcases a custom-built outdoor kitchen installed on a TimberTech composite deck in Dix Hills, New York. The project demonstrates how high-quality materials and professional design can transform a backyard into a fully functional outdoor entertainment area.

This outdoor kitchen was designed to provide homeowners with a complete cooking and dining environment while complementing the surrounding deck and landscape. By integrating premium appliances, durable stone finishes, and advanced decking materials, the final installation delivers both performance and long-term value.

Outdoor Kitchen Built on a TimberTech Deck in Dix Hills Project

The project involved the construction of a fully equipped outdoor kitchen built directly on a TimberTech deck surface. The homeowners wanted a space that would allow them to cook and entertain outdoors while maintaining a clean, cohesive appearance throughout the backyard.

The outdoor kitchen includes:

  • Custom-built masonry structure
  • Natural stone veneer finish
  • Granite countertops
  • Wood-burning pizza oven
  • Built-in grill and burner
  • Outdoor refrigerator
  • Storage cabinets and drawers
  • Trash storage system
  • New TimberTech composite deck surface
  • Reinforced deck framing
  • New composite railings

The goal was to create a practical cooking space that blends seamlessly with the deck and surrounding environment while offering the durability needed for year-round outdoor use.

Structural Base Construction

The foundation of the outdoor kitchen was constructed using standard prefabricated fiber-reinforced cement boxes. These modular units provide a strong and stable base for outdoor kitchens and are ideal for supporting heavy materials such as stone veneers and granite countertops.

Fiber-reinforced cement construction offers several advantages:

  • High structural strength
  • Resistance to moisture
  • Fire resistance
  • Long lifespan
  • Minimal maintenance requirements

Using prefabricated components allowed for precise installation while ensuring structural reliability. Once installed, the cement boxes created a solid framework capable of supporting the stone veneer and heavy cooking equipment.

Travertine Stone Veneer Finish

The exterior surfaces of the outdoor kitchen were veneered with Fiorito travertine. Travertine is a popular choice for outdoor construction because of its natural beauty and durability.

The stone veneer consisted of pieces measuring both 2 inches and 4 inches in height. These were installed in a mixed-random pattern to create a natural, visually appealing texture.

The Fiorito travertine finish offers several benefits:

  • Warm natural coloration
  • Unique texture variations
  • Weather resistance
  • Timeless appearance
  • Compatibility with outdoor environments

outdoor-kitchen-built-on-a-timbertech-deck-in-dix-hills

The random pattern installation gives the kitchen a handcrafted look while avoiding a repetitive or artificial appearance. This method enhances the stone’s natural character and allows the kitchen to blend with the outdoor setting.

The neutral tones of the travertine complement the deck and railings, creating a unified design throughout the backyard.

Granite Countertops for the Outdoor Kitchen Display

The countertops were fabricated from polished Tan Brown granite, a dense and durable natural stone that performs exceptionally well in outdoor environments.

Granite is commonly used for outdoor kitchens because it offers:

  • High resistance to heat
  • Scratch resistance
  • Weather durability
  • Low maintenance
  • Long-term performance

The Tan Brown granite features a rich blend of earth tones that coordinate well with the travertine veneer and TimberTech decking.  Square-edge detailing was selected for the countertop finish. This clean-edge profile provides a modern appearance while maintaining a solid, substantial feel.  The polished surface makes the countertops easy to clean while enhancing the stone’s natural color and pattern

Outdoor Kitchen Premium Outdoor Appliances

The outdoor kitchen was equipped with a full range of premium outdoor appliances designed for performance and durability.  Most of the cooking equipment and storage components were manufactured by Twin Eagles, a brand known for high-quality outdoor kitchen products.

The installation includes:

  • Built-in grill
  • Gas burner
  • Storage cabinets
  • Drawers
  • Trash drawers
  • Access doors

Twin Eagles components are constructed from high-grade stainless steel, designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining their appearance.  These appliances allow homeowners to prepare a wide variety of meals without needing to go indoors.

One of the standout features of the outdoor kitchen is the wood-burning pizza oven. This addition transforms the cooking area into a versatile culinary space capable of producing restaurant-quality pizza and other wood-fired dishes.

Wood-fired ovens provide:

  • Authentic cooking flavor
  • High cooking temperatures
  • Efficient heat retention
  • Versatility for different foods

The pizza oven was integrated into the stone structure to match the kitchen’s overall design. The natural stone veneer surrounding the oven creates a cohesive and professional appearance.  This feature makes the outdoor kitchen ideal for entertaining guests and hosting gatherings.

Twin Eagles Outdoor Refrigerator Installation

The kitchen also features a built-in refrigerator from Summit Appliance.

Outdoor refrigeration is an essential feature for any complete outdoor kitchen. The refrigerator provides convenient access to beverages and ingredients without requiring trips inside the house.

Benefits of the Summit refrigerator include:

  • Compact design
  • Energy efficiency
  • Reliable cooling
  • Outdoor-rated construction

The refrigerator was carefully integrated into the kitchen layout to maintain a clean, organized design.

TimberTech Deck Installation

The outdoor kitchen was built on a newly resurfaced TimberTech deck.  The original deck framing was retained but reinforced to support the additional weight of the kitchen and stone materials. Reinforcing the structure ensures long-term stability and safety.  The deck surface was replaced using TimberTech composite decking in 6-inch planks.  TimberTech decking offers several advantages over traditional wood:

  • Resistance to moisture
  • No splintering
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Fade resistance
  • Long lifespan

Composite decking eliminates the need for frequent staining or sealing, making it ideal for busy homeowners who want a low-maintenance outdoor space.  The wide 6-inch planks create a clean and contemporary appearance while providing a comfortable walking surface.

Reinforced Deck Structure

Because the outdoor kitchen features heavy masonry and stone, the deck structure required reinforcement.  The existing framing was strengthened to ensure that the deck could safely support:

  • Cement construction modules
  • Stone veneer
  • Granite countertops
  • Appliances
  • Pizza oven

Proper reinforcement is critical for outdoor kitchens built on elevated deck surfaces. This step ensures that the installation remains safe and stable for many years.

Composite Railings

New TimberTech railings were installed to complement the deck surface.  The railing system features a brown-and-black color combination that matches the tones of the decking and stone veneer.  Composite railings provide several benefits:

  • Weather resistance
  • Minimal maintenance
  • Long-term durability
  • Consistent appearance

The coordinated color scheme helps unify the deck and kitchen into a single cohesive outdoor living space.

Design Integration

One of the most important aspects of this project was achieving a cohesive design.  The following elements were carefully coordinated:

  • Travertine stone veneer
  • Granite countertops
  • Composite decking
  • Railing colors
  • Stainless steel appliances

The warm tones of the travertine and granite pair naturally with the brown and black decking components.  This coordination creates a professional appearance that enhances the property’s value.

Functional Outdoor Living Space

This outdoor kitchen was designed to function as a complete cooking and entertainment center.  The layout allows multiple people to use the space comfortably.  The homeowners can:

  • Grill meals
  • Cook on the gas burner
  • Bake in the pizza oven
  • Store food and beverages
  • Prepare meals on the granite countertops
  • Entertain guests outdoors

The result is a backyard environment that encourages outdoor living throughout the warmer months.

Craftsmanship and Installation

The project reflects careful craftsmanship and professional installation.  Key construction steps included:

  • Structural reinforcement
  • Precision stone installation
  • Appliance integration
  • Countertop fabrication
  • Deck resurfacing
  • Railing installation

Attention to detail ensures that each component fits together properly and functions as intended.

A Modern Backyard Upgrade

This outdoor kitchen project represents a modern approach to backyard design.  By combining masonry construction with composite decking, the installation provides both durability and style.  The finished space offers:

  • Long-lasting materials
  • Professional construction
  • Functional cooking space
  • Attractive design
  • Low maintenance requirements

This outdoor kitchen, built on a TimberTech deck in Dix Hills, NY, demonstrates how thoughtful design and quality materials can transform a backyard into a highly functional outdoor living space.  Using fiber-reinforced cement construction, Fiorito travertine stone veneer, polished Tan Brown granite countertops, and premium appliances, the project delivers both beauty and durability.

The reinforced TimberTech deck and coordinated railings complete the installation, creating a cohesive and long-lasting outdoor environment.
