Kitchen Pavilion

The kitchen pavilion, with its smooth tile floor, paneled interior and high cupola roof, is the perfect backyard room addition. It is designed to hold everything a gourmetcook needs: a refrigerator, cupboards,shelves, a sink and over 14 feet of counter space for extensive food preparation. This 8- x 12-foot do-it-yourself kitchen unit is sheathed in APA Texture 1-11 plywood siding, and fully trimmed for a professional, finished appearance. An ttractive semicircular, 6- x 12-ft Redwood deck, featuring an outdoor bar, expands both the size and efficiency of the pavilion.

For people who love to cook, the kitchen pavilion provides all the conveniences of an indoor kitchen, without the cramped, stuffy feeling of cooking inside. All windows and doors are screened for exceptional air circulation, with a removable front window option for easy serving capability. This project is recommended for advanced do-it-yourselfers. Experienced builders can creatively add or subtract features to customize the kitchen.
