Outdoor Kitchens designed, built and installed for Queens — Tudor houses and new towers, needing opposite answers. Our New York showroom in Brooklyn is a short run from most of 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.
Queens has the widest range of housing of any borough, and the brief changes completely between a Forest Hills Tudor and a Long Island City tower. The first conversation is about which of those two problems we are solving.
The single-family stock is older and characterful — arched openings, plaster, original trim — and the cabinetry is usually detailed to sit alongside it rather than to replace the character.
The co-ops run alteration agreements as strictly as Manhattan does, including insurance, working hours and elevator scheduling.
The local detail changes from job to job. This part does not.
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.
Doors and drawers are sealed with integrated drainage, so water that gets in has somewhere to go.
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.

We work throughout Queens, including Forest Hills, Astoria, Jamaica Estates, Bayside and Long Island City. The housing here is Tudor and colonial single-family houses, a large stock of pre-war and post-war co-ops, and new towers in Long Island City, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom in Brooklyn is a short run from most of the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. The samples are worth handling before you choose — or send the drawings and we will price it first.
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.
