Planning a summer kitchen in Marsh Landing

Homes on the course or the water are seen from both sides, so the back of a Marsh Landing project matters as much as the view from inside. Mature landscaping is common on Marsh Landing lots, so placement is planned around what's already there. Salt air is hard on outdoor kitchens, so we choose finishes for the exposure and place the kitchen out of the worst of the wind.

We often pair a summer kitchen with a fire feature so the cooking and the evening fire share one space. Before we draw a summer kitchen in Marsh Landing, we check whether a cover is wanted now or later, how the stonework matches the house and how close the kitchen can sit to the lanai.

According to the EPA, shaded surfaces can be 20 to 45°F cooler than the peak temperatures of unshaded materials.

Approvals and Permits in Marsh Landing

Marsh Landing's master association reviews exterior changes through its Architectural Review Board, and sub-associations can add their own steps. For a summer kitchen, review boards often want to know where it sits, what it's made of and whether a cover goes over it. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

In Marsh Landing, permits come from St. Johns County. We file the clearance sheet and the permit application, record the Notice of Commencement the county requires for most permitted projects, and schedule the inspections. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
