Outdoor Kitchen Installation Designed for Life Outside on Long Island
Culinary Design, Tastefully Crafted
An outdoor kitchen is more than a place to cook. It’s a gathering point, where meals turn into memories, and every detail is built with the same integrity and design precision that have defined our family’s work for five decades.
The Gary Duff Design Standard of Craft Excellence
Outdoor kitchens are as much about structure as they are about artistry. That’s where five decades of design-build expertise come in.
-
Designed around cooking, serving, and gathering zones that work naturally.
-
Stone, stainless steel, and finishes chosen to withstand Long Island’s coastal climate.
-
Every kitchen complements your home’s aesthetic and outdoor environment.
-
Built by a team that treats your property like their own.
-
Crafted for connection, celebration, and calm, year after year.
Fire, Flavor, and Family by Design
Each outdoor kitchen we design is custom-built for its setting, its home, and the people who use it. We consider the architecture, the movement of light, and the rhythm of your gatherings, so the result feels effortless, elegant, and enduring.

Guidance from Gary Duff Designs
Decades of experience have taught us a few things, here’s what most clients want to know before we start.
-
We don’t install kits or prefab units, we design and build custom outdoor kitchens that reflect your home’s architecture and your lifestyle. Every project is handled in-house by our family-led team for unmatched quality and continuity.
-
Almost anything you can imagine. From built-in grills, pizza ovens, and kitchen islands to outdoor bars and BBQ stations, we tailor every layout and finish to your space, preferences, and entertaining style.
-
With 50 years designing across Long Island, NY, we know what endures, from natural stone and granite counters to high-quality stainless steel appliances. Every material is chosen to perform beautifully through coastal humidity, sun, and snow.
-
Not at all. Our design process adapts to your space, whether it’s a compact patio or a full outdoor living environment. The goal is to make it feel like a natural extension of your home, no matter the size.
