In a full-scale outdoor living renovation, one New Zealand family set out to design an alfresco kitchen that would serve as the central gathering point of their home. They envisioned a space with the soul and comfort of an indoor kitchen, seamlessly adapted for life outdoors. Their dream: multiple cooking styles, effortless functionality, and refined aesthetics - all in a setting that could stand up to the elements.
Building a Better Outdoor Kitchen
The family’s biggest hurdle was finding a kitchen solution that wasn’t a compromise. “The biggest obstacle was finding the right kitchen supplier. A lot of what was on the market was either prefabricated kitset metal boxes or something that needed a kitchen designer and a builder,” the homeowner explained.
Enter Freeform Alfresco, a South Island-based outdoor kitchen manufacturer specialising in modular, precision-built cabinetry designed to withstand the elements. Their unique approach, which balances modular flexibility with custom adaptability, delivered the perfect combination of quality, performance, and design freedom.
