Begin your outdoor kitchen by creating cooking and food prep areas. With these elements plus an outdoor seating or dining area, you’re all set to enjoy a meal in the outdoors. Here are some other things you might consider adding to your outdoor kitchen to expand its usefulness!
An outdoor kitchen is a great addition to your home. In the summer months, cooking outdoors allows you to decrease extra cooling loads on your air conditioning that comes from heat created in your kitchen (from turning on the oven, etc). Outdoor kitchens also provide a great transitions space that connects you and your home to your surrounding environment. Outdoor kitchens can be as useful and unique as their indoor counterparts—it’s all up to what you choose to include in the design!
Our green building tip-from-the-past for today is that a local material available to you is your existing home. In the past, families built on to their homes, or adapted certain room functions to make the building usable and comfortable as they grew. You can similarly be sustainable through managing and improving your “home resource” to ensure it continues to be your present sanctuary while having the ability to be available for future generations.
