Outdoor design & build
Our client in Enfield envisioned a complete garden transformation—one that would seamlessly blend functionality with beauty. They wanted an outdoor space that was more than just a garden; an extension of their home, perfect for entertaining family and friends. Cooking was at the heart of this vision, where the experience of preparing meals would be just as enjoyable as the food itself.
To bring this dream to life, they needed a fully equipped outdoor kitchen area that facilitated a variety of cooking styles while offering a sophisticated, welcoming atmosphere for guests.
This, of course, meant that a standard backyard barbecue setup wasn’t going to cut it.
The client wanted to take outdoor cooking to the next level, which would mean a high-end, fully fitted outdoor kitchen. Their wish list included a wood-burning pizza oven, a grill station equipped for multiple cooking styles, and a sleek bar area for serving drinks. This ambitious setup would require meticulous planning to ensure that functionality blended with elegant and harmonious design, integrating seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and indoor space.
Creating a high-spec outdoor space like this would require overcoming multiple design and construction challenges, from crafting a structurally perfect pizza oven to selecting durable, stylish materials that could withstand the elements. We were excited to bring this vision to life.
Our solution was to focus on attention to detail, ensuring the perfect result for the client.
The pizza oven needed to be a visual and functional masterpiece. Giuseppe designed and crafted a bespoke compass himself—from scratch—specifically for this project. This tool allowed for precise shaping of the oven’s dome, ensuring flawless curvature and even heat distribution. The result was a stunning centrepiece, balancing artisanal craftsmanship with unrivalled practicality.
For the outdoor kitchen installation, we used weather-resistant materials to guarantee longevity. Stainless steel was chosen for the grill station due to its durability and ease of maintenance. Polished concrete countertops provided a sleek, modern aesthetic. These materials elevated the overall look while ensuring that the space could withstand outdoor conditions year-round.
One of the most intricate parts of the project was the limestone ‘crazy paving’. Giuseppe hand-shaped each individual stone, ensuring a seamless fit while preserving the natural, asymmetrical, eye-catching aesthetic. The careful selection and placement of stones created a unique flooring pattern. It tied the entire space together beautifully and made for a fantastic talking point.
The result was an exquisite outdoor entertaining space that exceeded expectations. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with its handcrafted pizza oven and custom grill station, became the heart of the garden. The bar area added a touch of sophistication, making it the perfect setting for everything from casual family gatherings to lively celebrations with friends.
The client was thrilled—not only with the transformation but also with the process. In fact, Giuseppe’s dedication and hands-on approach left such a lasting impression that he was invited over many times to enjoy the space himself, turning a professional project into a lasting friendship.
