Just as an indoor kitchen is the center of home life, an outdoor kitchen is the hub of the Outdoor Room, and it is becoming a must-have amenity.
"Like indoors, an outdoor kitchen is where we cook, hang out with family or friends, drink wine [...]. It is an outdoor space for living, cooking and entertaining." – Ryan Bloom, Urban Bonfire's Co-Founder and President

"The 2019 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Home Design Trends Survey, indicates outdoor kitchens are now the most popular specialty feature in a home, with 49% of architects reporting an increase in client requests for the amenity."
"People don't need a large outdoor space, but they need a well-designed space that's flexible and multipurpose, with functional storage, and elements selected to suit a family's lifestyle. [...] The smaller the space, the more sacred it is for people, and the greater the need for good design." – Stefan Marchant, Urban Bonfire's Co-Founder and Head of Design
