This spectacular poolside outdoor kitchen captures the essence of relaxed Mediterranean living, brought to life through a design inspired by the brief of “Ibiza.” Created by Nick Lord of Hog’s Back Kitchens in collaboration with Zara Christie of Zara Christie Designs, the space effortlessly blends sociable layout, refined materials, and high-performance appliances into a true outdoor entertaining destination.
The kitchen takes on a classic, elegant aesthetic, with external cabinetry finished in Neolith Estatuario Silk. This marble-inspired sintered stone introduces a light, luxurious tone, while the fabrication has been carefully designed so the natural veining flows seamlessly across the door fronts, creating a beautifully continuous and bespoke finish.
At the centre of the design, an island with an extended overhang provides bar-style seating, ensuring the chef remains at the heart of every gathering. This thoughtful layout encourages interaction, allowing guests to dine, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere while watching the cooking in action. Surrounding this, generous worktop surfaces and ample storage ensure the space is as practical as it is visually striking.
The kitchen is fully equipped for all aspects of outdoor living. A Sub Zero Wolf ICBOG54 gas grill and Alfa Forni Nano pizza oven cater to a wide range of cooking styles, while integrated refrigeration, including a Blastcool Extremis XP1 refrigerator and Vitrifrigo DW180 freezer drawers, provide essential storage for food and drinks. A Barazza R12 316 sink paired with a Quooker Fusion Square tap adds everyday convenience, completing this highly functional setup.
Positioned beside the pool and sheltered beneath a contemporary pergola, the space exudes a laid-back, resort-style atmosphere. From casual daytime lounging to evening entertaining, this outdoor kitchen is designed to bring people together—delivering a perfect balance of luxury, practicality, and effortless outdoor living.
