Outdoor kitchen without a grill in front of the natural stone wall: cooking island with Teppanyaki, induction cooktop and sink

A Cooking Island in a Natural Stone Courtyard

This outdoor kitchen stands freely in a terrace courtyard, in front of a half-height wall made of light natural stone. The floor is paved with light natural stone slabs, the kitchen fronts are in gray beige (RAL 1019), and the countertop is a light Dekton surface. This lets the kitchen pick up the colors of the wall and floor instead of contrasting with them.

Instead of a grill with a hood, two cooktops are set flush into the countertop: a Barazza Thalas stainless steel teppanyaki plate (37 cm) and a Barazza Thalas induction cooktop. At the other end of the island is a Franke stainless steel sink with a high faucet. From left to right: sink, drawers, cabinet, teppanyaki, induction.

Cooking instead of just grilling

The photos show an outdoor kitchen that works more like an indoor kitchen: preparing, washing up, frying, and keeping food warm all at one station. The BIO Stefan configurator is designed for exactly this. Choose modules, materials, and appliances such as a sink, grill, or refrigerator, and see the kitchen in real time. You can find out which cooktops are suitable for your island there or directly from BIO Stefan.

The sink needs a water connection and a drain, while the teppanyaki and induction cooktop need a power connection. Plan the utility lines for a freestanding island before laying the floor. Find more kitchens with sinks under Outdoor kitchens with a sink.

Sand-colored fronts against light stone

• The fronts pick up the color of the paving slabs and wall, making the kitchen look like part of the courtyard.
• The countertop is light and matte, so splashes and water marks are hardly noticeable.
• The island has doors and drawers on the cooking side, while the back remains closed. It also includes a Franke pull-out system (Cube 40 and two Cube 10 units) for waste sorting.

The carcass and fronts are made of powder-coated galvanized steel, and this kitchen has a Dekton countertop. The kitchen is designed for outdoor use and withstands sun, rain, and snow.

Conclusion: an outdoor kitchen that complements natural stone

If you're planning an outdoor kitchen in a courtyard with natural stone, a warm, light front color like gray beige works better than anthracite. The cooktops set into the countertop keep the silhouette low. Configure your version in the Outdoor Kitchen Configurator and find all models under Outdoor Kitchens.
