From the walkable streets of historic downtown Franklin to the masterplan communities of Westhaven and Berry Farms, we design outdoor kitchens that honor where you live — and how you want to live.
Franklin wears its character openly. The red-brick storefronts of Main Street, the rolling horse farms along Mack Hatcher, the new-urbanist energy of Westhaven's town center — this is a city that takes design seriously, in every context. That design sensibility extends naturally to the backyard.
In Westhaven, where front porch culture is practically written into the deed restrictions, the outdoor kitchen is a natural extension of a neighborhood built around community and gathering. In Avalon's wooded estate lots along Mack Hatcher Parkway, we work with half-acre and full-acre parcels that afford the kind of spatial generosity that makes a truly immersive outdoor room possible. In the newer phases of Berry Farms, growing families are building kitchens that will serve backyard birthday parties today and graduation dinners a decade from now.
We build across all of Franklin — including the historic neighborhoods adjacent to downtown, where older homes are being lovingly restored and their backyards brought into the twenty-first century without sacrificing an inch of character.
Begin the Design ProcessA premium-tier build for a Westhaven family of four who entertain constantly — block parties, Friday evening cookouts, and Sunday brunches that stretch into the afternoon. The design prioritized flow: a Lynx grill suite, 14 feet of honed limestone counter, a built-in DCS side burner, and a under-counter refrigerator, all wrapped beneath a white-painted cedar pergola with hanging lights. The kitchen opens to a bluestone patio that seats twenty comfortably. Investment: $48,000.
An estate-tier project on a wooded 1.1-acre lot in Avalon that took its design cues from the property's existing stone fencing and mature hardwood canopy. A full timber-frame pavilion in Douglas fir anchors the space; inside it, a Hestan professional grill suite, Mugnaini wood-fired pizza oven, and full wet bar with copper sink create a year-round entertaining room. Fieldstone surround, quartzite countertops, and a linear gas fire table complete the picture. Investment: $112,000.
Franklin is architecturally diverse. A block in Westhaven might include a craftsman bungalow, a shingle-style farmhouse, and a neoclassical cottage — all in harmony because each has been built with care and intentionality. We carry that same intentionality into every outdoor kitchen we design for Franklin properties.
For the craftsman-influenced homes common to Westhaven's original phases, we favor natural materials — Tennessee fieldstone, cedar timber, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, and honed limestone countertops that feel rooted and genuine. For the more transitional homes in Berry Farms East and the newer Avalon phases, we embrace clean lines, porcelain slab countertops, powder-coated steel pergola systems, and contemporary lighting.
In all cases, we begin with your home's existing architectural story and allow that to guide the material palette, the structural language, and the spatial organization. The outdoor kitchen should look like it was always meant to be there.
