Fewer functions, not less substance

The small outdoor kitchen

Not every outdoor space can carry a fully planned kitchen landscape. A city garden, a terraced-house garden, a roof terrace — there it is not the length that decides, but the selection.

A small ambient kitchen is therefore not a pared-down large one. It is a different planning task.

Which functions earn their place

Leave out first, then plan

On a limited area, every section competes with the next. The question is therefore not what would be possible, but what you will actually use every week.

In practice, three things carry the most: a fire or cooking point, a continuous worktop beside it, and water. Refrigeration can often move into the house, a dishwasher almost always.

Straight run, short L or compact island

Which form works on a small area

The straight run against the wall needs the least space and has the shortest connection routes. It is the obvious solution when the terrace is narrow.

A short L gains worktop without taking up more length — it uses the corner that would otherwise stay empty. A compact island is worthwhile where there is room to walk around it: you then cook facing your guests. More on this in our article on straight runs, L-shapes and islands.

The cabinet body makes no distinction

What stays the same compared with a large kitchen

The compact plan receives the same PureAlu cabinet body: 8 mm marine-grade aluminium, nano-ceramic pre-treatment, Off-Shore powder coating, the same hinges developed in-house and the same manufactory number.

The guarantee is the same as well: 30 years on the components of the PureAlu cabinet body, in accordance with the guarantee conditions applicable at the time. Smaller means fewer functions here — not less construction.

The entry point is around 22,500 euros

What a compact plan costs

A clear, straight kitchen with a few carefully chosen functions comes to around 22,500 euros including VAT — in this example with a fire point, a river-stone basin and a stainless steel tap.

What determines the price beyond that is set out in our article on the cost of an outdoor kitchen. The figure is an orientation, not a quotation.
