Quick question for anyone who hosts: where does the cook end up during your backyard get togethers? Usually inside, alone, while everyone else is out by the pool.
This Calabasas backyard fixes that. A built in grill, a sink and long stone counters sit under a louvered pergola, so whoever is cooking gets shade and a front row seat. Folding glass doors on the house let the family room, patio and pool work as one big space whenever the weather is nice (which around here is most of the year).
One thing we tell every homeowner planning an outdoor kitchen: figure out where the gas, water and electrical lines will run before you fall in love with a layout. The utilities usually decide where the grill and sink can go.
