Project Overview: A Perfect Fit for Coastal Living
This pergola installation was part of a larger outdoor renovation project in Boca Raton, Florida. Designed by SYZYGY Global, the goal was to create a permanent shade structure above a high-end outdoor kitchen while complementing the modern architecture of the house.
- Total area: 285 square feet
- Manufacturing: 4-6 weeks
- Installation Timeframe: 1 day
A Pergola Built for Everyday Enjoyment
The outdoor kitchen pergola was installed in February 2023. The entire manufacturing process took just 4 to 6 weeks, and on-site installation was completed in only one day. Measuring 285 square feet, this outdoor louvered pergola now provides all-day comfort in a sunny, humid climate. With adjustable shade and built-in weather protection, the homeowners can cook, dine, and entertain year-round.
Style and Finish That Elevates Outdoor Cooking
Visually, the pergola makes a strong design statement. It features a dark gray aluminum frame paired with white louvers, creating a high contrast look that enhances the modern style of the home. The contrast not only adds depth but also pairs beautifully with premium outdoor finishes like stainless steel appliances, tiled countertops, and light pavers.
Designed for Comfort and Convenience
This high end pergola goes beyond just looking great—it’s designed to work for you.
Integrated Technology for Enhanced Use
Equipped with Minka Air ceiling fans, the smart pergola ensures cool airflow even during midday prep. This makes the space comfortable for both cooking and entertaining. Homeowners can also integrate optional features such as:
- Motorized privacy screens
- Infrared heaters
- Integrated LED lighting
With these premium accessories, the outdoor kitchen pergola can adapt to morning coffee moments, midday grilling, or evening get-togethers. Imagine preparing dinner outside while your pergola senses a few rain drops and closes automatically—no rushing inside or worrying about the weather.
