Unlike most interior or exterior spaces, the outdoor kitchen doesn’t sit neatly within one design discipline. Sometimes it lives with landscape architecture, sometimes with interiors, sometimes with architecture, and at times it’s handed directly to the builder. In this Design Dialogue, we’ll bring together experts from multiple fields to examine how teams can work together more seamlessly. Through real-world insights and cross-disciplinary perspectives, we’ll highlight strategies that lead to thoughtful, well-coordinated, and truly elevated outdoor kitchen environments.
