Lambertville Barbecue Niche
An outdoor cooking space with the presence of a commissioned work of art.
Designed as a surprise birthday gift, this barbecue niche at a Lambertville home transformed a charcoal grill station into an outdoor entertaining space with the presence of a commissioned work of art. Carefully prepared in advance, the installation was assembled on site in just four hours.
The design supports year-round cooking with a covered enclosure and a roof opening that allows smoke to escape while providing protection from the weather. Fine materials and thoughtful details reflect the homeowners’ appreciation for art and make the space as practical as it is distinctive.
