A Fortuitous Custom Outdoor Fireplace and Outdoor Kitchen in Driftwood, TX

How Archadeck of Austin built a custom outdoor fireplace and outdoor kitchen borne of a neighborly debacle…

Imagine you purchase your dream home in a beautiful community, and in the beginning, you aren’t so much concerned with encumbering yourselves with outdoor upgrades.  Then, imagine your next-door neighbors decide to build an upgrade of their own – a bit closer to your back patio than you are comfortable with.  This is where Archadeck of Austin becomes the lemonade makers in the proverbial, “when life hands you lemons,” plight.  And make lemonade, we did!

We got to work with these Driftwood, Texas homeowners, who soon began to realize that what they at first saw as a neighborly misfortune was turning out to be a very happy accident!  Together, we decided to build a gorgeous free-standing limestone fireplace, to match their existing home and patio.  The outdoor fireplace is positioned to create a buffer between the neighbors’ outdoor entertaining spaces, but it is so much more!  The robust wood burning fireplace will do its intended job, but it will also provide hours upon hours of outdoor enjoyment for these homeowners and their guests.  There is hardly anything better than being able to utilize an outdoor space out-of-season, and this outdoor fireplace will accomplish that for these now very fortunate homeowners.  Sipping wine or coffee or having dinner while sitting in front of dancing flames in crisp weather will no doubt become one of the homeowners’ favorite outdoor pastimes.

What better complement to the outdoor fireplace than a very roomy, uber-functional custom outdoor kitchen?  These homeowners decided to go “whole-hog” and upgrade to a complete outdoor entertaining space for cooking, eating, and relaxing.  This beautiful outdoor kitchen has all the amenities of indoor prep spaces!  The limestone kitchen design features a large built-in grill, sink, storage, refrigerator, and tons of food prep and serving space.  These homeowners will be able to host friends and family for dinner parties and cook-outs and enjoy relaxing private patio dinners of their own.  Special occasions are made even better when you have such a unique and accommodating outdoor space to host them in.

As you can see Archadeck of Austin was able to bring resolution to a unique outdoor living situation, where privacy was a must.  When called upon to answer a very specific need, we will always earnestly improvise a custom-tailored solution that won’t just answer the call but go well beyond it.  These homeowners were faced with a situation that might have some folks ready to build a wall or a privacy fence – which solves the problem but takes away the open-air feel of the spacious back yard.  If are looking to put an outdoor living problem to rights, call on Archadeck of Austin for innovative solutions.
