This outdoor kitchen is one part of a larger outdoor entertaining area that was designed by Dale Hoover of Anza Living Spaces – a Durango, CO based design firm. The homeowners have love to entertain and wanted a design that would create an environment that included separate scenic venues for their guests. At the heart of the design was the pool area with views overlooking the Sacramento Valley. As a focal point off the pool is the outdoor kitchen. Since the couple enjoys entertaining frequently and the location of their kitchen is in such a special area, the design had to be open and airy, creating a light-feeling environment. It also had to promote the valley views, foster continual circulation of the breeze and have constant social access to guests. In short, it had to be a one-stop, functional space for them to entertain by the pool. The finished product was a stunning and highly functional Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet kitchen.
