I am in the process of designing an outdoor patio for clients. It is a challenging project as well as being very exacting, with a lot of technical details to take into consideration (gas lines, water lines, electrical panel load limits, permit approvals, etc), before I can even start on the ‘pretty stuff.’ This outdoor patio is on the roof of a penthouse, with a spectacular view of the ocean, mountains, and city of Vancouver. It is a breathtaking 130 feet in length, and is probably larger than most people’s back yards.
Every once in awhile I come across a new and innovatively designed product that causes me to stop and take notice, and with a sigh of relief, that I have found an esthetically pleasing alternative to a category of product design that generally leaves my visual sensibilities assaulted. Finally an outdoor grill (notice that it is not referred to as a BBQ - ‘Grill’ is the operative new terminology), that shakes up tradition, and is beautiful to look at. “A campfire for modernists,” “a social magnet with a great sense of style.” Attaching a label to this Fuego outdoor living grill is trickier than throwing a salmon – wild, rubbed with herbs and spices – on an open flame. As well as Fuego being a top rated grill, it has a modernist design aesthetic with sleek-lined minimalism. One that I wouldn’t mind gracing my clients’ patio.
Fuego Grill 01
What do you think? Would you like to have this Fuego grill gracing your patio?
I’ll take the pool!

I don't want it - I need it
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I actually need 2 one for my patio one for my studio deck (lol)
I'll have it all! :) Nice grill. We're building & one of the first 'extras' we put on the house were outside connections: gas etc. That way we can have a 'pretty' grill without the gas bottle. :) My husband's basically building a kitchen outside and I think (with this pic) I'll be able to convince him to use the slate underfoot. Nice! :)
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, I'll definitely take the pool!! And that 'grill' is fantastic. Love the modern and not-so-bulky appeal. I'll have to show my hubby {the one who would actually use it, lol!).

Very nice, I love it! I would just hope it stays clean and pretty after several uses. We all know how ugly BBQ's can get. I suppose that's what the hired help is for though, right?
ReplyDeletedear patricia..

Love the grill !
ReplyDeleteI have no earthly idea how to decorate outside. The outside of my house depresses me. Good thing I live across from a golf course. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the dreaded grill! I saw a portable kitchen on a site yesterday that was similar to this. It had a sink and everything. I know you'll be excited to start the fun stuff. Can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteIts Sergei working with Better Homes and Gardens. I loved your latest post, the grill looks amazing!!! Simple, elegant, yet highly functional. I wouldn't mind it gracing my patio ;)

I am not into bbq's or "grilling" but I would not mind having it, like you i want the pool.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely yes! I'll take the grill AND the pool!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely so "me" when it comes to interior design. I can't imagine anybody that does not want that pool! Just discovered your fantastic blog and I am stunned.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have it! i've been wanting a grill for a while but somehow haven't gotten it... have a nice sunday!
