Looking for outdoor kitchen inspiration? Skip the stock photos — every build below is a real Sun West project in a real Southern Nevada backyard. Six looks, six directions your kitchen could go.

1. Modern poolside minimalism

Clean grey masonry, crisp counters, and built-in planters wrapping a pool deck — a kitchen that feels like part of the architecture.

2. The covered outdoor room

An arched, covered kitchen with grill, fridge, and generous counters — shade makes it usable through the Vegas summer, and the finishes tie straight into the house.

Stacked-stone walls, patterned tile, and a kitchen looking over the pool — texture is what makes this one photograph so well.
