You can build this layout as a mirror imagefrom what is shown in the drawings.

This U-shaped layout combines a pizza oven and kamado smoker with wrap-around bar seating to create a kitchen built around cooking and gathering in the same space. It works well on patios with enough depth to support three sides of workspace while keeping guests nearby. Because the bar wraps the cooking area, clear spacing helps maintain comfortable movement around the kitchen.

Why This Layout Works

This layout works because it blends live-fire cooking with a strong social core. The pizza oven and kamado smoker each have dedicated space to operate, while the wrap-around bar keeps guests close without crowding the cook.

The U-shape keeps prep, cooking, and serving organized and within easy reach. The bar defines the kitchen’s edge, creating a natural boundary that supports conversation and interaction without interrupting the workflow.

For homeowners who enjoy longer cooks and shared cooking experiences, this layout delivers a focused, engaging kitchen with a natural flow that keeps people connected to the process and each other.

How This Layout Is Built

This layout is built using Cornerstone’s Unity Smart Modules—a modular system designed to work together as complete outdoor kitchens. That’s what allows the layout to be adjusted, expanded, or refined without starting over or redesigning from scratch.
The important part is the order: choose a layout that fits your space and how you want to use it first, then configure the details as your plans come together. The system exists to support the design—not dictate it.
