The project brings together a revered New England athlete and a New Hampshire-based outdoor kitchen company. It also marks the next phase of Gronkowski and Camille Kostek’s home renovation, extending the design of their recently updated interior into the backyard.
“We were looking to complete our backyard,” Gronkowski said. “We wanted a kitchen back here so we could grill, keep our drinks cold and have something that makes the space look spectacular. That’s exactly what we were looking for.”
The galley-style outdoor kitchen includes two primary islands and a separate pizza oven station. A 12-foot cooking island houses a 42-inch grill, 30-inch flat-top griddle, built-in refrigerator, storage and integrated trash and recycling. A corresponding 12-foot bar island includes additional storage, drawers, a pull-out ice chest and counter space for serving and gathering. A separate station holds a matte-black hybrid pizza oven.
The couple selected a bright white plank-style exterior, Thunder White granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The design coordinates with the finishes inside the home while giving the outdoor space a clean New England character.
“I wanted the outdoor kitchen to be timeless and something that could live on and never go out of style,” Kostek said. “I knew right away that I wanted the white shiplap look, Thunder White countertops and stainless steel appliances.”
The couple worked directly with RTA’s design team through virtual meetings and reviewed a 3D visualization before approving the kitchen. Kostek said the ability to see the design in advance helped simplify the process following an extensive interior renovation.
“I had just finished 11 months of renovations inside and had definitely hit decision fatigue,” Kostek said. “I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make the decisions, how quickly everything happened and that we had it before the start of summer.”
An RTA Outdoor Living Pro installer assembled the kitchen at the Massachusetts property in a matter of hours. Gronkowski contrasted the installation with the longer renovation process inside the house.
“The outdoor setup was way faster and a lot easier,” Gronkowski said. “They came here and built the outdoor kitchen in just a few hours. It was ready to go and we were grilling that night.”
The materials were also selected with the region’s changing seasons in mind. Gronkowski and Kostek wanted a permanent outdoor kitchen that could remain outside through New England weather rather than relying on a freestanding grill, portable coolers and temporary serving areas.
“Being up here in New England, you get all types of weather,” Gronkowski said. “You get snow, rain and sleet. I love how sturdy the kitchen is. It’s durable and you don’t have to worry about replacing the product every year.”
The kitchen's location supports how the couple uses the backyard. It sits near the home’s fire pit and creates a central place for food preparation, drinks and serving when friends and family visit.
“We host a lot in the summertime and never had one place for everything,” Kostek said. “Rob has about nine nieces and nephews, and now when they come over, we can have a pizza station and a s’mores station instead of setting everything up on chairs or on the ground.”
“Rob and Camille had a clear vision for an outdoor kitchen that complemented their home and supported the way they entertain,” said James King, vice president of design at RTA Outdoor Living. “The galley layout creates distinct areas for cooking, serving and gathering while making efficient use of the existing backyard.”
The completed kitchen will serve as the setting for additional RTA content featuring Gronkowski, including cooking, family entertaining and outdoor kitchen durability testing.
