Luxury Outdoor Kitchen Specialists - located in Kelowna BC Canada

MODE CONCRETE deals with DIY'ers, design professionals, building professionals and home-owners, to create luxury outdoor kitchens in the Okanagan Valley.  Having a luxurious outdoor kitchen has become the norm for people living in the Okanagan. Many designers, landscape architects and developers rely on our input and skill when it comes to the design and construction of an outdoor kitchen or grilling island.


We will start by assessing your equipment requirements, available space, budget, and how we can integrate an outdoor kitchen into your overall design.  We have knowledge about the “do's and don'ts” of outdoor kitchen design and can advise you on different outdoor equipment options and various construction materials available.

You can choose to have us build the complete outdoor kitchen or we can just build a outdoor kitchen frame, which you can finish with your own construction materials. You can have confidence that MODE CONCRETE has created all openings, cutouts, and clearances accurately, for your outdoor kitchen accessories and grills.  Our outdoor kitchen frames have amazing structural durability and are designed specifically for each individual project.




Steps for creating the luxury outdoor kitchen of your dreams:
  • set up a consultation with MODE CONCRETE
  • get ready any sketches, pictures, or ideas you have
  • make a wish list of the features you would like to see in your outdoor kitchen and living space
  • view our website and our suppliers lines for more ideas (we can also discuss the product line, and the pro's/con's with you at the consultation and give you flyers/pamplets) 
  • after we have dimensions of the space, an idea of what you are looking for, and any specific requests (favorite outdoor grill, must haves) we call in the design experts and start putting together some ideas for you
  • you then approve your custom outdoor kitchen design
  • you select the finishing touches (countertops, exterior)
  • if required, MODE CONCRETE will now begin building your outdoor kitchen
  • if required, necessary arrangements for gas, electrical and plumbing may need to be made at this stage
  • if required, we install the equipment, accessories and make sure everything is working perfectly
Here is video featuring a Luxor Grill, one of the high quality specialty items that MODE CONCRETE offers it's clients.  How awesome would this would make your backyard days?!?!?!


Grab some wine from your cellar, and get the invites ready - you are the proud new owner of custom built outdoor kitchen by MODE CONCRETE!

Outdoor Kitchens Have Great Return on Investment

Outdoor kitchens will have a great return on your investment and make your home stand out when trying to sell. They encourage easy entertaining and create a personal oasis, increasing your personal enjoyment and adding value to your life. Who doesn't want their home to feel like a resort? Our outdoor-living season stretches from March through November, for those of us lucky enough to call the Okanagan 'home.' That means many buyers and and homeowners carefully evaluate and try to maximize their exterior spaces.  Outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, pergolas, covered patios, outdoor fireplaces and outdoor bars are among the hottest alfresco trends right now.






Most homes have an outdoor eating area, and having an outdoor kitchen further encourages and enhances your outdoor living space.  Many of these kitchens have small cabinets with under-counter refrigerators. Some include sinks, most include a built in cooking unit of some sort (BBQ, grill, pizza oven, burners). The most luxurious items include cocktail stations and imported Italian pizza ovens.  Every outdoor kitchen needs one thing that sparkles and acts as a focal point to your kitchen - is there a 'must have' or anything that particularly stands out when you envision your outdoor kitchen?

Renovation quality is key when determining whether an outdoor addition will have a positive or negative resale effect on your space. Do-it-yourself projects can sometimes erode value, if poor materials or workmanship are used for the project. Research all your options before making any decisions and if you go with a contractor, make sure they are reputable and know what they are doing.  
And finally, the design is probably the most critical part of planning any outdoor living space.  What will maximize space, encourage easy entertaining, and not inhibit the flow of your space?  Most times it's best to get a professional designer and if you can, check out some 3D renders to really see how your space will look before you begin construction.  

MODE CONCRETE can help you with any component of your outdoor kitchen project. We offer free estimates and one free on-site consultation.  Contact us today to book your appointment.

Stainless Steel Outdoor Cabinets


When creating an outdoor kitchen, longevity, durability and finding products that require minimal maintenance, are all must haves. We are big fans of using stainless steel in your outdoor kitchen, because they stand up to the elements and look great year after year. Danver creates beautiful stainless steel cabinetry, an outstanding, modern and stylish option for your outdoor kitchen. Danver stainless steel cabinetry comes in a variety of finishes that will definitely look great and last for years to come.  Wood Finishes and specialty color powder coats, like Protect-A-Coat, protect against the elements and provide a virtually maintenance free-finish.



Danver's outdoor cabinets are manufactured to exacting standards. This is why their products are trusted by designers, architects, contractors, builders and dealers worldwide. From a wet bar for poolside drinks to a complete outdoor kitchen, stainless steel cabinetry provides unparalleled beauty, durability and style. They now offer wood grain and powder coat finishes in a variety of standard species and colors.


Outdoor cabinets in many places for many purposes:

The beauty and durability of stainless steel makes Danver products perfect for many outdoor applications. Some homeowners installing outdoor kitchens prefer the continuation of the look to poolside, lanais, and play areas. Even if there is no cooking area, the flexible, durable storage serves many backyard and home purposes.  Commercial projects welcome the long-lasting, easy-to-clean cabinetry suitable for any outdoor seating and eating areas. Restaurants install them near patio seating, to keep place settings and linens nearby their customers. Consider high-end touches. How does a permanent executive drinks bar on a balcony sound? Outdoor cabinets give a rich, custom feel.




It’s about exterior decorating:

Outdoor cabinetry allows the taste and style of any indoor decorating scheme to continue outdoors. You have the option of several different stainless steel door and drawer styles.

  • Designer colors: Your design options also include a variety of powder coat paint colors over stainless steel, to match decorating plans. A wide array of color options awaits you.
  • Wood grain finishes in 10 wood species can be applied over outdoor rated powder coat for a truly realistic wood look. It provides an exceptional look for all of the outdoor cabinets, as trim, and can also be used for panels within several door styles


Protect-a-coat

The beauty of stainless steel can be made even more durable and maintenance-free with the application of a clear protective coat. It seals doors, drawers or the entire cabinet from salt damage, chlorine harm and muriatic acid (which is used to clean pavers and is highly corrosive).

Stone and masonry are popular design choices for a rugged or classic outdoor “feel”. Since the dimensions of our products are so specific, cabinetry can be “dropped in” with relative ease. 

Danver products can be ordered from MODE CONCRETE.  We can help with installation and design if required.
