Expert Site Visits for Accurate Planning
Accurate planning is the foundation of a successful kitchen project. That’s why our expert site visits are a critical part of our process.
By physically assessing your backyard space, we can take precise measurements, identify potential challenges, and understand the flow of your property.
This hands-on evaluation allows us to optimize the design for your available space.
We consider factors like sun exposure, wind patterns, and proximity to your indoor kitchen to create a layout that is both convenient and comfortable.
This is also the stage where we plan for year-round usability, determining the best placement for heating elements and weather protection.
A thorough site visit ensures that the design we create on paper will translate perfectly to your backyard.
It eliminates guesswork and lays the groundwork for a smooth construction process, ensuring your outdoor kitchen fits seamlessly into its surroundings.
Innovative 3D Rendering for Outdoor Kitchen Projects
Have you ever wished you could see your project before it’s built? With Mediterra, you can.
We use innovative 3D rendering technology to bring your outdoor kitchen design ideas to life.
This powerful tool allows you to visualize your dream space in stunning, realistic detail.
Our 3D designs give you a virtual tour of your future kitchen, showing you exactly how the layout, materials, and appliances will look in your outdoor space.
This step is crucial for refining every detail of your outdoor kitchen project, from a classic layout to a sleek modern design.
Visualizing Your Dream Space in Advance
One of the greatest benefits of 3D rendering is the confidence it gives you in your design choices.
Instead of trying to imagine how different materials and colors will look together, you can see them in a photorealistic model.
This process helps ensure your beautiful outdoor kitchen is also a highly functional outdoor kitchen.
Visualizing your dream space in advance allows you to make changes and adjustments with ease.
Want to see a different countertop material or change the placement of the grill?
Our designers can update the 3D rendering in moments, allowing you to compare options and perfect the layout.
This technology bridges the gap between imagination and reality.
It ensures that every member of the project team, from you to our installers, shares the same vision for your outdoor space, resulting in a finished product that perfectly matches your expectations.
Refining Designs to Meet Your Lifestyle Needs
A truly great outdoor kitchen is one that is designed around you.
Our 3D rendering process is instrumental in refining custom designs to meet your family’s specific needs.
Whether you’re an avid griller, a pizza enthusiast, or love hosting large gatherings, we can tailor the layout to support your lifestyle.
We can adjust the size of the cooking area, expand the food preparation surfaces, or add more seating based on your feedback.
Thinking about how you’ll use the space helps us create a flow that is intuitive and efficient.
Do you need a separate station for drinks? Or extra storage for cooking tools? We can incorporate it all into the design.
By working through these details visually, you can be sure that your new outdoor kitchen will not only look incredible but will also function perfectly for your family.
It’s the best way to ensure your investment serves you well for years to come.

Custom Outdoor Kitchen Features for Toronto Homeowners
The right features can transform your outdoor kitchen into a true extension of your home. We offer a wide array of custom options designed for outdoor cooking and entertaining.
Popular choices for the Toronto climate include built-in grills, versatile side burners, and even a custom pizza oven for creating delicious homemade pies.
Beyond cooking appliances, consider adding features that enhance comfort and ambiance.
Functional outdoor kitchen cabinets provide essential storage, while integrated fire pits create a cozy gathering spot on cooler evenings.
We’ll help you select the perfect features to make your space both practical and inviting.
Modern Cooking Zones and Multi-Functional Layouts
An efficient outdoor cooking space is all about creating smart, multi-functional layouts.
We design distinct zones for different activities to streamline your cooking process.
This approach ensures there's ample room for everything without the space feeling crowded.
Popular configurations often separate the "hot" and "cold" zones.
This means grouping cooking appliances together and placing refrigeration and sinks in another area. Key elements of a modern cooking zone include:
- A high-quality built-in grill as the centerpiece.
- Side burners for cooking accompanying dishes.
- Ample counter space for food preparation and plating.
- Integrated trash compartments for easy cleanup.
By thoughtfully planning these layouts, we create an outdoor kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Whether you're hosting a large party or preparing a simple family meal, everything you need will be right where you need it.
Year-Round Comfort: Heating, Lighting & Weather Protection
Why limit your outdoor enjoyment to just the summer months? With the right design, your outdoor kitchen can be a year-round destination.
We specialize in creating spaces that stand up to the Canadian climate, incorporating features that provide comfort and protection in any season.
Strategic heating options, such as built-in patio heaters or a cozy fireplace, can make your outdoor space inviting even on chilly evenings.
Thoughtful lighting is also essential, not only for safety but for creating a warm and welcoming ambiance for nighttime family gatherings.
To provide weather protection, we can design overhead structures like pergolas or covered roofs.
These features offer shade from the summer sun and shelter from light rain, dramatically extending the usability of your outdoor kitchen.
Let us help you design a space you can enjoy no matter what the weather brings.
Premium Materials Tailored for Toronto’s Climate
The longevity of your outdoor kitchen depends heavily on the materials used.
We select only the highest quality materials specifically chosen for their ability to withstand Toronto's local climate.
From freezing winters to hot, humid summers, our materials are built to last, ensuring your investment is protected.
Your outdoor kitchen renovation is also a reflection of your personal taste.
We offer a wide selection of premium materials, from natural stone to modern stainless steel, allowing you to create a look that is uniquely yours.
We'll guide you in choosing the best options for both durability and style.
Best Countertops for Durability and Style
Your countertops are one of the most important elements of your outdoor kitchen.
They need to be tough enough to handle food preparation, spills, and harsh weather while also looking great.
Granite countertops are a popular choice for their durability and classic beauty, resisting heat and scratches.
For a more modern look, concrete countertops offer a sleek, industrial aesthetic and can be customized in various colors and finishes.
Natural stone provides timeless elegance, while stainless steel is favored in professional kitchens for its hygienic properties and resilience.
Each material offers a unique blend of style and function.
To help you decide, here is a quick comparison of top materials for Toronto's weather:
Weatherproof Cabinets and Long-Lasting Finishes
Proper storage is key to a functional outdoor kitchen, but cabinets must be built to endure the elements.
