Crafting Excellence: A Bespoke Outdoor Grill Cabinet Ensemble for the Netherlands
This case study follows the journey of a premium modular outdoor kitchen from blueprint to completion. Engineered as our hallmark solution, it meets the exacting demands of functionality, durability, and aesthetics in the Dutch outdoor living market.
Project Overview
A Seven-Module Linear Symphony
The core of this project was to configure a complete, seamless linear outdoor kitchen island from seven interconnected cabinet modules. Each module was selected to fulfil a specific culinary or storage function, creating a holistic outdoor cooking station. The client required a perfect balance of standard efficiency and bespoke modification, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and a perfect fit for their garden layout and usage habits.
Material Innovation
The 18mm Double-Layer Extruded Aluminium construction
At the heart of this cabinet system’s resilience is our signature **18mm double-layer extruded aluminium** material structure. This material is specifically chosen for its exceptional performance in wet, variable climates. Unlike wood or steel, it is completely impervious to rot, rust, and insect damage. The double-layer extrusion process creates a rigid, lightweight panel with integrated structural strength, providing an unbeatable foundation for long-term outdoor use.
Aesthetic Finishing
Powder Coated Elegant Khaki Surface
For the exterior finish, we applied a high-grade **powder coated elegant khaki** finish. This color was selected for its contemporary, neutral tone that harmonizes beautifully with natural garden surroundings and modern Dutch architecture. The powder coating process ensures a uniform, thick, and highly durable surface that is resistant to UV fading, scratches, and extreme temperatures, guaranteeing the cabinetry remains elegant for years.
Modular Configuration
Standard SKUs and Bespoke Adjustments
The final configuration smartly combines our popular standard SKUs with custom-sized units. This hybrid approach optimizes lead time and cost while delivering a fully personalized result.
- **Standard SKU Selection:**
The **double open sink cabinet** (including a 30″ stainless sink and faucet) , **36″ grill cabinet**, **refuse cabinet**, **fridge cabinet**, and **kamado cabinet** utilized our standard dimensions. Their designs are already perfected for optimal appliance fit and ventilation, ensuring reliability and **cost savings**.
- Customized Modules:
The **3-drawer storage** and the **single open storage cabinet** unit received slight dimensional tweaks. These **size micro-customizations** were made based on the client’s specific usage patterns and the overall **aesthetic alignment** of the linear combination, ensuring a perfectly proportioned island.
Complete Functional Assembly
The ensemble includes every element for a fully equipped outdoor kitchen:
**1x 3-drawer storage** for utensils, **1x double open sink cabinet** for preparation and cleaning, **1x 36″ grill cabinet** as the cooking centerpiece, **1x refuse cabinet** with a hidden trash can for cleanliness, **1x storage cabinet** for larger items, **1x fridge cabinet** for beverages, and **1x kamado cabinet** for versatile ceramic cooking. We also provided **full sourcing assistance** for the compatible gas grill and outdoor fridge, simplifying the client’s procurement process.
Integrated Top and Market-Specific Final Touches
Crowning the assembly is a sleek **sintered stone countertop**, chosen for its superb stain resistance, heat tolerance, and low maintenance—ideal for active outdoor cooking and entertaining. Every aspect of this project, from the climate-proof **aluminium** construction to the functional layout supporting social gatherings, was designed with the **Netherlands market** in mind. This case demonstrates our capability to deliver not just cabinets, but complete, durable, and stylish outdoor living solutions that meet the high standards of European homeowners.
