The project
From the first slice to the last conversation.
This patio and outdoor kitchen in Severna Park, Maryland, gives cooking and gathering their own places within one connected outdoor space. The 800-square-foot patio includes a 16-foot kitchen equipped with a grill, sink and pizza oven.
A built-in sitting wall follows the curved patio edge, while a firepit anchors the circular seating area. From above, the layout is easy to understand: cooking stays close to the home, and the gathering space opens toward the yard. The curves connect those areas without making them feel like one undifferentiated surface.
What makes it work
The details shape the space.
A kitchen with several ways to cook
The 16-foot outdoor kitchen includes a grill, sink and pizza oven. Planning those pieces as one kitchen helps establish where cooking and preparation happen within the larger patio.
A gathering space with a clear center
The firepit sits at the heart of a rounded seating area. The built-in sitting wall defines its edge, while the photographs show how individual chairs can be arranged around the center.
Curves that organize the backyard
The curved patio shape creates a softer transition toward the lawn and planting beds. It also distinguishes the gathering area from the kitchen while keeping both connected by the same outdoor surface.
