Entertaining and dining at home is a “quality of life” experience that inspires homeowners to invest in the improvement and design of their outdoor entertaining spaces.

According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, architects are seeing a 64% increase in outdoor kitchen requests as compared to 47% in 2005.

According to a recent outdoor living report by Standpoint Marketing Research, 1.2 million new households will install an outdoor kitchen in the next year.

In keeping with this growing trend, Garden Design magazine and Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet have joined forces to present the Oasis Award, recognizing excellence in outdoor kitchen design.

The Oasis Award for Outdoor Kitchen Design is sponsored by:

Introduce Your Fresh Concepts for Outdoor Kitchens

Demand for outdoor kitchens is exploding. According to a December survey by the American Society of Landscape Architects, outdoor kitchens are among the most popular spaces being designed for residential clients. “Homeowners are requesting landscape architects design complete outdoor rooms, such as kitchens and bars, for entertaining.“

Submit a conceptual design for an exterior residential room appointed with pieces from Kalamazoo’s Custom Outdoor Kitchen Collection.

Winning designs will be presented online and in the October ALSA Award issue of Garden Design.

Entries Due August 3, 2009.
