Designing the Outdoor Kitchen at Zuma Beach House
Camille Styles details the process of designing the outdoor kitchen for the [[Zuma Beach House]], drawing on travel photos and old snapshots to craft a space that feels lived-in rather than showroom-fresh. The plan centers on three built elements—a long prep countertop with an integrated [[Zwilling Flammkraft Grill]], a separate station with a custom [[Forno Piombo pizza oven]], and a central bar-height [[teak table]]—tied together with warm materials like [[terracotta tiles]] and smooth stucco. A large ornamental [[olive tree]] and Mediterranean planting will anchor the layout while a sliding pass-through window blurs indoor-outdoor flow. Camille calls out tile sourced from [[Clay Imports]] and timber furniture choices, notes the grill’s infrared zones, and previews a June completion that promises pizza parties and summer cooking.
