What else can you do at the patio other than relaxing, sunbathing and gardening?

When designing a house, it is important to tailor it to the needs of its residents. If the house is large enough, an open kitchen might be ideal! From simple to complex designs, we have prepared 10 examples for you to get inspired. Let’s take a look now!

1. An extremely spacious patio

The first house we have here consists of a huge patio. It has a fireplace, barbecue grill, countertops and so on. Barbecues are perfect for the weekends. But even if you don’t do it often, you can still sit here and enjoy the breeze. Not bad, right?

2. The idea of a rooftop bar

This rooftop bar looks very professional, doesn’t it? It has a bar counter and stools, a TV and couch for families and friends to gather. Now, you won’t have to spend money outside at pubs during games season!

3. Expose yourself to the outsides

This vacation home looks very exposed and open. But don’t worry, designers have installed rolled-up curtains all around to protect the interior from heavy rain or bad weather. If your house is surrounded by a large green courtyard, adopting this open-style kitchen and lounge might be ideal. Consult a professional architect to help with the planning!

4. It’s a balcony?

The space we are looking at is quite interesting. First glance, it looks like an ordinary kitchen, but if you noticed the railings and net, you will figure that it is in fact a balcony! With a sink and counter simply installed, along with a set of chairs and couch, this balcony is proven to be practical and fully functional.

5. A large terrace at this luxury mansion
