Outdoor kitchens we have built,
page 5 of 5

The patio opens onto the garden with the poise of a great house: a dark run of base units carries the pale counter, bearing the steel burners beneath their professional hood, the sink, and the refrigerator whose glass door displays its chill like a small vitrine. At the far end, the wood-fired oven waits with its mouth ready and the log rack stacked with orderly rounds; the wall-mounted screen promises long evenings. Light rains softly through the skylight; the travertine floor spreads it wide.

This is the Michelessi Open Patio Kitchen: a complete composition uniting the precision of steel, the warmth of wood fire and the comfort of home beneath a framed sky, made in Italy from first drawing to final fitting. Bespoke work arranges flame, cold and counters around the existing architecture, with fine marble finishes available. Let our specialists guide you towards the piece closest to your needs and your desires.

The garden hosts two sister architectures: the kitchen pavilion, its metal-roofed canopy and brown columns sheltering the granite counter, the built-in barbecue and the sink; and a little way off, the great stone fireplace, a white bench at its feet, promising flames and conversation deep into the night. Between them, a lawn drawn by hedges and a stone path linking the two worlds — that of cooking and that of lingering.

This is the Michelessi Canopy and BBQ Kitchen: a project that imagines the garden as a suite of open-air rooms, each with its own fire and its own purpose. Granite and wood compose the kitchen with solidity and warmth; the stone of the fireplace anchors the scene. Bespoke work shapes pavilions, counters and fireplaces around your green, in the hands of master artisans. A no-obligation consultation is all it takes to begin: your outdoor space deserves a project conceived for it alone.

The beams of the wooden gazebo draw the ceiling of this garden room, and the kitchen arranges itself beneath them in a horseshoe: pale refractory stone blocks crossed by a band of amber-toned majolica, a mosaic running along the fronts and enriching every volume. At the centre gleams the stainless gas barbecue, flanked by the burners, by the fryer for feast days, and by the sink that serves the brigade; dark counters bind the stations together.

This is the Michelessi Gazebo with Outdoor Kitchen: a complete, sheltered composition where the tradition of decorated stonework meets the equipment of a professional kitchen. Laying majolica demands the eye of Italian craftsmanship — the same the house devotes to marble — and bespoke work adapts gazebo, fronts and equipment to your garden, for celebrations that fear neither sun nor rain. On request we prepare a 3D drawing, so you may appreciate the finished result set within your own surroundings before work begins.

The counter tells two stories: a pale top, rounded in a soft curve that invites you to lean, and a front of reclaimed wood, its weathered slats carrying the charm of things that have already lived one life. On the counter, the beer dispenser awaits the first glass; behind, the white station works with its steel barbecue and two glass-fronted refrigerators stacked with bottles. A midnight-blue wall and a timber deck close the scene like a small private tavern.

This is the Michelessi Beer Island: the project for those who consider the tap an appliance of first necessity. Bespoke work integrates dispenser, cold and fire into one harmonious composition; artisan hands shape curves, timbers and recesses — with stone or fine marble tops available to raise the glass higher still. Contact us to study materials, finishes and dimensions together: every detail takes shape around your space and your habits.

The forms glide: the main island rounds its ends like a polished pebble, the service module follows at a distance, and panels of stone and worked refractory stone — with their decorated texture — add matter to a design that looks forward. On the white counter, built-in steel burners wait with their grates ready; wooden planters bring living green into the composition, and the warm deck binds it all.

This is the Michelessi Futuristic Kitchen Island: a project proving that the outdoor kitchen can also be formal research — curves, contrasts, worked materials — without losing substance. Worked refractory stone and stone sign the surfaces; steel, the equipment. Bespoke work bends the curves around your space, each piece handcrafted in Italy with the precision the house has always devoted to marble. From first sketches to delivery, we follow you at every step with the care your outdoor space deserves.

Steel composes a single volume: the monobloc spreads its satin surfaces without handles — recessed-grip openings score the fronts with a line of shadow — and concealed LED light brushes the timber deck, tracing the perimeter of the evening. On the counter work the built-in sink with its professional faucet and the barbecue with its lid raised; the green hedge behind softens the technical rigour.

This is the Michelessi Monoblock Kitchen: the monobloc effect taken to its furthest conclusion — one single body, no visible joint, maintenance reduced to a single gesture. Steel bears seasons and service without ageing; the LEDs turn the kitchen into a nocturnal presence. Bespoke work calibrates the volume to your space; artisan folds, welds and recesses are executed with absolute precision, and the top may rise to stone or fine marble. We design and build to measure: tell us about your space and we will propose the solution that suits it best.

The lens drops until it almost touches the edge: the stone slab shows its living thickness, split and chiselled, shadows running through the irregularities as along a small, domesticated cliff. The counter's surface, lightly honed, keeps the natural clouding of the material; behind, out of focus, the steel barbecue recalls the purpose of all this — because here, beauty works. This is the Michelessi Stone Counter Detail: proof that an edge can be a signature.

Split-face working demands hands that know the stone — where to strike, how much to remove, when to stop — and it is one of the trades Italian craftsmanship at Michelessi preserves alongside the working of marble. Made to measure means this too: choosing not only the material of the counter but the character of its edge, so that every outdoor kitchen has its own handwriting. On request we prepare a 3D drawing, so you may appreciate the finished result set within your own surroundings.

The glazed wall has opened its sliding window and the indoor bar has become an open-air counter: metal stools line up along a top that crosses the threshold, bottles and glasses glint beyond the opening, and serving a glass takes no more than a gesture. Before it, the outdoor lounge spreads its grey sofas around the great stone fireplace, alight with wood and promises. Autumn trees complete the scene.

This is the Michelessi Outdoor Lounge: the project that abolishes the border between inside and out — the sliding window with its counter turns the house into a bar, the fireplace turns the courtyard into a living room. Bespoke work draws thresholds, counters and seating around your architecture; artisan hands tend the stone and the details, with fine marble ready to sign the counter.
