Home to exciting shopping and entertainment complexes, gorgeous parks, and best-in-class golf courses, Doral, Florida, is a thriving neighborhood just west of Miami International Airport. In this vibrant and fast-growing city, outdoor living is a staple. This backyard installation reflects that lifestyle, centred around a high-end BBQ and kitchen space designed for both daily use and weekend entertaining. With waterfront views and a clean, modern layout, the goal was to create a space that stays functional, stylish, and comfortable year-round.

Positioned right on the water, the outdoor kitchen offers a dream setting for grilling with a view, but also demands serious protection from the Florida sun. To make the area usable under the relentless sun, a 16′ x 10′ freestanding retractable canopy was installed. The all-white aluminum structure spans the outdoor kitchen and grilling zone, providing reliable protection for the cook and guests alike. Outfitted with Harbortime Alpine White fabric, the canopy reflects heat and softens light without blocking airflow or views.

The result is a bright, modern outdoor kitchen that performs as well as it looks. The crisp canopy pairs perfectly with the sleek cabinetry and natural stone finishes, adding both function and flair. With the retractable system, homeowners can enjoy full sun, full shade, or anything in between, all with a simple adjustment. Whether it’s a quiet dinner or a weekend cookout, this setup is ready for it all.
