Outdoor Kitchens designed, built and installed for Manhattan — pre-war buildings that are never square and boards that decide the schedule. Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough.
An outdoor kitchen in New York has to survive a freeze rather than a salt spray, and that is a different specification. Water that gets into a cabinet and then freezes will do more damage in one winter than a decade of summer use, so drainage and sealing matter more here than anywhere. Marine-grade aluminium handles the freeze-thaw cycle without the corrosion that appears on lesser materials at the fixings, and the run is designed so it can be shut down properly for the season.
Co-op and condo boards run the job. Alteration agreements, insurance certificates, approved contractors, permitted work hours, elevator bookings and a building engineer signing off — all of it precedes the first delivery, and none of it is negotiable. We build the schedule around the building's rules.
Everything has to fit a passenger or service lift and turn in a pre-war corridor. Cabinets are sized to be carried, and anything that will not fit is engineered to assemble on site.
Pre-war apartments are out of square, out of plumb and rarely level. Every run is templated on site, scribes are drawn in from the start, and nothing is fabricated off a plan alone.
This is the constant. Wherever the job is, a outdoor kitchen from us is put together this way.
Outdoor cabinetry is a materials problem before it is a design one. Sun, rain, humidity and — near any coast — salt will destroy an indoor cabinet finished for an indoor life. We build outdoor kitchens in marine-grade aluminium with 304 stainless hardware, sealed doors and drawers, and integrated drainage, because that is what survives.
Twice as thick as most stainless cabinetry on the market and lighter, which also makes it easier to deliver and install.
Door slides, hinges, pulls and levelling legs are all outdoor grade, because the hardware fails long before the box does.
Doors and drawers are sealed with integrated drainage, so water that gets in has somewhere to go.

We work throughout Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Tribeca, the West Village, the Upper West Side and Chelsea. The housing here is pre-war co-ops and condominiums, converted loft buildings downtown, and townhouses across the older districts, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
