Outdoor Kitchen with Dekton Island · Polanco

Beneath a steel-and-glass pergola, this 20 m² outdoor kitchen transforms a courtyard in Polanco into the gravitational center of the home — a space where cooking, hosting, and living outdoors become one and the same.

The concrete lattice screen works as both backdrop and light filter: it blocks direct sunlight and casts geometric shadows that shift throughout the day, turning the wall into a living element within the project.

The perimeter in teak wood veneer with a Dekton Lunar countertop resolves the working zone — oven, gas grill, sink, and wine cooler — with the material restraint that a space exposed to Mexico City’s weather demands.

The island emerges as the centerpiece: wrapped in sintered stone with copper veins on a light base, its clean geometry and mitered joints eliminate any visual interruption, making the stone read as a single monolithic carved block.

A solid teak dining table for ten integrates under the same structure, extending the kitchen into a gathering area that doesn’t compete with it but complements it — the same language of noble materials, the same warmth.

The result is a kitchen that needs no walls to feel complete: the lattice, the pergola, and the materiality of the ensemble create an enclosure defined by its atmosphere, not by its boundaries.
