Designing a summer kitchen for Pace Island

Pace Island is a gated community on Fleming Island in Clay County with its own homeowners association and architectural review. Freestanding cedar gazebos with outdoor kitchens suit the lots in Pace Island. Near the water, an outdoor kitchen is turned toward the view so the cook isn't staring at a wall.

Smoke direction matters. We look at the prevailing breeze at the in-home visit and place the grill so it drifts away from the seating. Before we draw a summer kitchen in Pace Island, we check where the smoke will drift, whether a cover is wanted now or later and how the stonework matches the house.

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

Approvals and Permits in Pace Island

Pace Island's association reviews exterior changes before work starts. We prepare a package with a site plan, elevations, materials and 3D renderings. 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.

Pace Island permits come from Clay County, which reviews site placement first and then the building plans. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the Clay County permits.
Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.
