In an L-shape outdoor kitchen, two runs meeting at a right angle leave a dead box behind the doors that nobody can reach. The corner cabinet is 1,075 mm on both legs and handed — the front face wraps the turn, so the counter runs continuously and the space inside stays reachable from the leg you actually work on.
Wall leg 3.4 m, return 1.8 m. The turn is one 1,075 mm corner cabinet, not a dead box.
Wall leg
3.4 m of storage and cooking. Sink at the working end, grill in the middle, drawers either side. This is the leg people stand at.
The turn
1,075 mm on both legs, handed. HW-08 closes left, HW-09 closes right. Whichever way the run turns, the corner is a finished cabinet rather than a void behind a door.
Return leg
1.8 m of cold and dry. Fridge under the bench, tall storage beside it. The return also hides the back of the wall run from the house.
What is in the standard build
Every line can be swapped for a different module at the same height and depth.
| Code | Module | Width | Why it is here |
|---|---|---|---|
| HW-01 | Sink cabinet | 800 mm | Working end — waste, trap and tap on this leg |
| HW-05 | Drawer cabinet | 800 mm | Tools and plates between sink and oven |
| HW-06 | Oven cabinet, 800 | 800 mm | Appliance bay, opening cut to your grill's drawing |
| HW-09 | Right-deep corner cabinet | 1075 mm | The turn — order HW-08 instead if the run turns left |
| HW-07 | Fridge cabinet | 900 mm | Outdoor-rated unit on the return |
| HW-04 | Storage cabinet | 800 mm | Dry goods and serving ware |
| Total | 6 modules, 2 legs | 5,175 mm across both legs | Counter 5,215 mm with a 20 mm overhang at each end |
Four details that decide whether it lasts
The corner is the one module you cannot change your mind about after the order, because the handing is built into the panels. Stand at the front of the run and look at which way the counter has to go: if it turns to your right, it is HW-09; to your left, HW-08. The two are mirror images and cannot be converted on site.
Most L-shapes are drawn round a building corner. Check what the return blocks: a garden door, a tap, a downpipe. The return leg is usually where people discover the run was 200 mm too long, so we confirm the swing and the obstacles before drawing it.
Water runs downhill, so the sink goes on one leg and the other leg stays dry. Put the sink at the working end nearest the house and every trip carrying something wet is shorter.
The cylinder lives in the wall leg. The return is fed from the same line if it needs gas at all — most returns do not, which is why the return is where the fridge and the tall storage belong.
What you can change
The one thing we will not change is the shared height and depth, because that is what makes the modules joinable. Widths, door styles, internal fit-out, colour and the grill opening are all yours to specify.
Same grid, three briefs
These are real client briefs, not marketing variations. The modules change; the height and depth never do.
A · 2.9 m + 1.5 m courtyard
The smallest L we build. The corner takes 1,075 mm on each leg, so a 2.9 m wall leg still fits an 800 sink plus an 800 oven bay and leaves the return for storage and the cylinder.
B · 3.7 m + 1.4 m terrace
Adds a side burner module on the wall leg and turns the return into a serving bench. The one version where the return needs no cabinet at all — just counter over end panels.
C · 4.2 m + 2.4 m full kitchen
Two people can work without crossing each other: prep on the return, cook on the wall. This is the layout hospitality clients usually land on.
FAQ
There are two corner cabinets and they are mirror images: HW-08 with the closed face on the left, HW-09 with the closed face on the right, both 1,075 × 656 × 900 mm. Stand facing the front of the run and see which way the counter has to travel. Get it the wrong way round and the finished face points into the cabinet instead of closing the corner — the panels are handed at the factory, so it is not something a fitter can flip on site.
1,200 mm — one 400 storage module and an end panel, or a single 900 fridge bay. Below that the return is a bump rather than a leg, and a straight run with an end panel is the better answer.
Yes, and a two-tone L is one of our more common requests: the wall leg in the house colour, the return in a darker tone so it recedes. Colour is matched per batch, so both legs must be ordered together for an exact match.
Only if the end is visible. If the return terminates against a wall, skip it and save the cost. If it terminates in open air — which it usually does on a terrace — an end panel is the difference between a finished run and a visible cabinet side.
The modules are square; the deck rarely is. Measure both legs at the wall and again at the front edge, and send both numbers. We design to the smaller figure, and the castors take up the rest.
