For these homeowners in Lower Mainland, BC, this newly designed outdoor area is far more than a patio, it’s a fully functional outdoor retreat, crafted for year-round enjoyment.

One of the key design goals was to extend the home's interior aesthetic into the outdoors to create a seamless transition. Genesis Kitchens expertly achieved this by pulling the home’s existing black metal accents, visible in window frames and lighting fixtures, directly into the outdoor space, complimenting the contemporary farmhouse style of the home. Stone cladding along the wall and wood panelling on the ceiling highlight the natural beauty of the British Columbia landscape, while adding warmth and comfort to the space.

The ultimate outdoor kitchen is the heart of this functional retreat, designed around the homeowners' desire to prep, cook, and entertain without ever stepping indoors. A U-shaped configuration proved to be the perfect solution, placing prep areas against the wall while leaving an open peninsula with an overhang for casual seating. Echoing the interior design, Urban Bonfire’s elegant Artesan powder coating finish and Black Bronze handles match the dark metal detailing found in the rest of the home. This sophisticated space is fully equipped with a sink, an outdoor refrigerator, a spacious 48" grill, and a mounted TV.

Most importantly, the space was designed for year-round use. Retractable screens keep out unwanted pests, while patio heaters ensure the grilling and seating areas remain comfortable during cooler months. Urban Bonfire was the ideal choice for this all-season outdoor kitchen, thanks to its durable construction built to withstand the harshest of climates.
