Transform Your Space with an Outdoor Kitchen Pergola
Enhance Your Outdoors with Sleek, Custom-Built Designs
One of the most refined and modern design upgrades for any backyard is an outdoor kitchen with pergola. Popular across European courtyards for their elegant canopies, this combination brings both function and style. When planning your layout, consider the space available and how your outdoor kitchen will fit. A thoughtfully designed outdoor kitchen can turn your yard into a high-use area for cooking and entertaining guests.
Our pergolas are custom-built to frame any outdoor kitchen pergola setup, with proper spacing around posts and layout. Be mindful of traffic flow, how close it is to your dining space, and ease of access. Most importantly, decide how you want to cover it. Cantilever or not? With the right design, the space becomes both functional and inviting.
Advanced Features of Our Outdoor Kitchen Pergolas
Unlike standard awnings, our outdoor kitchen pergolas feature advanced louvered roof systems that are fully automated. The frame and moving parts are made from wear-resistant materials, designed to be permanent fixtures that stand up to wind and rain. Each section features a sleek roof profile made from extruded aluminum, offering both modern aesthetics and impressive durability.
Custom Pergolas to Match Any Outdoor Kitchen Design
With over 10 years of experience, Aluminum Pergola goes beyond just installing pergolas for outdoor kitchens. We create complete, luxury outdoor living spaces in several formats:
Wall-Mounted Pergolas: Anchored to a wall, these pergolas rely on just two posts, making them perfect for modern homes and tight spaces.
Traditional Pergolas: Supported on four posts, these are ideal for open areas like backyard kitchens, restaurants, or winery patios.
Cantilever Pergolas: Want shade and privacy for your grill or outdoor kitchen pergola while keeping the ground clear? A cantilever design keeps the roof floating at a custom height with a clean, open base.
Full-Service Design & Installation for Outdoor Kitchen Pergolas
From concept to completion, our team handles everything to make sure your pergola and outdoor kitchen look seamless. Since every project is different, our Canadian-built pergolas are tailored to match your layout and needs. A well-placed pergola can elevate the style and function of your outdoor kitchen while blending with your landscaping and home architecture.
Made from durable, lightweight aluminum, our structures resist corrosion and are built to last—making them a smart and stylish solution for your outdoor kitchen pergola setup.

If you love the feel of soft textures underfoot, shag or flokati rugs offer a plush, cozy experience, perfect for creating a warm and inviting bedroom atmosphere. Similarly, hand-loomed rugs provide a unique touch with their artisanal quality and varied textures. Braided and hand-hooked rugs also add a charming, handcrafted element to your bedroom decor.
For those concerned about safety and practicality, non-slip rugs with adhesive backings ensure that your rug stays in place, protecting both the rug and your hardwood floors. Cushioned rugs offer added comfort and are gentle on the feet, enhancing the overall coziness of your bedroom.

transFORM had the honor of designing, manufacturing and installing a crisp new walk-in closet at The Chatsworth - a historic Beaux Art building located in the heart of Manhattan's charming Upper West Side. Built in 1904, The Chatsworth was reintroduced in 2015 with expanded floor plans, incredible amenities and a private club-like atmosphere.
transFORM’s Senior Design Manager Rozalia Kiss, worked with the HFZ Capital Group to create a striking bedroom sized walk-in closet, which was recently featured in the New York Times article : Closets as Big as Some Apartments. The article identifies spacious closets as the latest must-have in some of the city’s most expensive condominiums.
Quickly becoming an essential part of the modern home, a walk-in closet adds style and convenience to your daily routine. Designed in a clean white finish and tastefully accented with complementing polished chrome hardware, this custom walk-in closet delivers tons of functional and accessible space.
All-white cabinetry offers a crisp look that allows your clothing to steal the spotlight. The high-contrast shaker style doors, create an elegant backdrop for your clothing. Light also pours through the big windows, drawing your eye to the iconic views of the Hudson River. It creates a feeling of brightness and positivity that energizes and enlivens. It’s a walk-in closet where you can look and feel your best as you begin your day.
For added visual appeal, the unit was accented with crown and base molding. The elegant detailing was inspired by the pre-war era building’s architectural features. The moldings add a retro geometric touch that matches the apartments beamed ceilings and traditional herringbone floors that were all the rage during the period and make a striking comeback in this beautiful renovation.
This unit was specifically designed with a variety of open shelves, hanging sections, and shoe storage. Hanging sections provide enough elevation to conveniently organize items based on size. From blazers and blouses to maxi skirts and evening gowns, all of your clothing is easily accessible. By using the same color hangers, your space will appear even more collected and composed. You can also arrange your clothing so that the colors compliment each other and appear as the favorable options they really are.
For the shoe enthusiast, we included numerous sets of shoe shelves and cubbies that attractively organize and showcase your finest footwear. This type of system allows you to identify and grab your favorite pair as you mix and match the perfect ensemble.
Shelving provides many of the same storage functions as drawers or baskets, but at a more economical price point. Items on open shelves are easier to recognize as a match for an outfit than items inside drawers. Top shelves are best for large, lightweight and seldomly-used items like your favorite floppy beach hat. Middle shelves, which tend to be the units focal point can be personalized with photos and home decor. Bottom shelves provide easy access to your most frequently used items like cozy sweaters and beloved slacks.
This custom closet also includes three tilt-out laundry hampers. No more dragging big clunky laundry baskets around the house. Tilt-out hampers are removable, lightweight nylon bags and easy to grab and go. They are stored behind cabinet faces that blend in with your space, removing unsightly and unpleasant-to-be-around dirty laundry from accumulating in piles on the floor. Installing 2 - 3 tilt-outs will make sorting laundry lightning fast. These hampers help keep your closet clean and tidy and increase space without losing functionality.
Let's face it, an organized custom closet just looks great. The side benefit is increased awareness and more pride in your clothing and your day-to-day appearance. With an organized system everything has its place and you can find the garments you need in the moment you need them, sans the ‘what to wear’ frustration.

When envisioning the Hygeia Lot 3 single family residential home in Encinitas, California, Lindsay and Rory Brown of The Brown Studio sought to weave unique architectural details throughout the minimalist design scheme. To add depth to the overall look and feel of the space, and to complement the home’s existing ‘hard’ angles, the team selected Banker Wire’s IPZ-25 woven wire mesh. Specified in a stainless steel and brass finish, the wire mesh was utilized to create the interior stairway railing, which functions as the focal point of the lower lounge room area.
Adding an elegant touchpoint to the space, the wire mesh reiterates the angular look and feel while providing much-needed depth through the stainless steel and brass finish. Similarly, for the project-at-large, the design team favored a seamless indoor/outdoor design scheme, with the Banker Wire mesh application helping to achieve this; the exterior of the home features Gabion rock walls, created using an enclosing wire structure to secure the rocks into a wall formation. By adding the wire mesh interior stairway railing, the design team was able to create an indoor/outdoor connection through highlighting these unique wire touchpoints.
“The Hygeia Lot 3 house is full of unique angles and architectural details—it’s two levels of playful design and carefully crafted architectural details,” says Loryn Cook, Designer, The Brown Studio. “We wanted to use materials that reflect this line of thinking, and Banker Wire’s architectural mesh provided the stability and breathability we were after.”
The simple, lightweight material of the IPZ-25 wire mesh pattern—which has a 54% open area—utilizes a mixture of stainless steel to achieve balanced sturdiness; when mixed with the copper-based alloy of brass, a beautiful contrast occurs, while the team’s custom system holds the wire in place. Through utilizing different wire diameters for the warp and shute—achieving balanced stiffness in both directions—the intercrimp surface gives the material a high degree of reflective energy. As a result, the mesh pattern imitates an array of colors that changes as the viewer moves throughout the space.
“For this project, we wanted a material that was permeable enough to see through, but detailed enough to catch the eye,” adds Cook. “IPZ-25 provides a myriad of different textures and colors, depending on the perspective from which it is viewed from—we love it specifically for this effect.”
In regards to the fabrication process, Robert Richter, Owner of Flur Metals, notes that although it was initially a challenge, this project is proof that the outcome is well worth it.
“We typically utilize more rigid mesh types for this kind of application, but because of how unique IPZ-25 is, The Brown Studio came to us asking if we could make it work,” says Richter. “We did not shy away from the challenge; this project was exciting, as we were able to utilize such a delicate, beautiful mesh, but a non-traditional way. Once one side was ‘tac’d in,’ we pulled it tight, and ‘tac’d’ the other side to the frame. Then, the border was welded to another frame that sandwiched the mesh in place,” adds Richter. “This application is proof that it can be done! It’s still one of my favorite projects we have ever worked on.”
