Inspired by the vernacular Florida vacation home, a porch wraps the length of the backyard, providing shade from the intense midday sun. A flat porch roof, clad in 24-gauge metal, replaces the classic sloped roof clad in cedar or cypress shingles.

A stainless steel infrared grill complete with magnetic storage carts carves out a grilling station under the porch overhang. Travertine countertops off the food prep area complement the coquina-style walls, embedded with oyster shell.

A bamboo cutting board and grilling tool set are placed at the ready. Glass clamp-lid bottles are ideal for storage of marinades, dressings, and specialty cocktail syrups and infusions.

The back deck of HGTV Smart Home is designed to accommodate a classic cookout, with space to both prepare and cook a summer meal.
