The full-working, covered kitchen is a go-to gathering spot for creative cooking and casual dining. Designed by architect George Alsina, the bricked area extends the width of the home and, per Annie Gray’s wish, offers both uncovered and covered common areas for guests to gather. Constructed by builder John F. Chaney, the open-air, covered cooking space sup-ports all of the amenities and luxuries of a working kitchen — complete with gas grill, sink, the johnston dishwasher and ample countertop space finished in glazed concrete. The free-standing fireplace, built by Wayne Jarman, complemented by the black and blue furniture selected by interior designer Sherry Black, encourages late afternoon soirees. Café tables are the perfect invitation for alfresco parties. The plant portrait above the fireplace, created by John Bohbrink of Foliage Design Systems, completes the landscape. “Unless it’s 200 degrees, we are out here all the time,” Annie Gray says. “It’s where we live.” o m e 58 WBM june 2014
