Modules

Proud to be kiwi made, Freeform Alfresco Kitchens are designed and manufactured in our Christchurch factory. We offer options to incorporate your existing or new BBQ, either free-standing or in-built. You may also choose to add a Smoker, Traeger, Kamado Joe or Green Egg. All modules are 890mm high & our benchtops are 700mm deep, unless shown otherwise.

OUR MENU


Our designers have created an Alfresco menu catering for modest through to extravagant budgets. We invite you to select from three options. The Buffet, where our designers have pre-prepared sizing and colour choices for you. The Gourmet, choose from a range of more bespoke colour options, or perhaps our final menu selection is more to your taste. Trust The Chief allows you to sit back and relax while we take care of all details. Served with a landscape design plan and accompanied with additional extras.  


Buffet Range

Buffet Range

Available as a carefully considered collection of set sizes & colours.

The components for our Buffet Range are available in set sizes and colours. Begin your plan by mixing & matching any of our module sizes. If you would like an in-built BBQ or fridge, we will custom make units to exact size.

Choosing your benchtop & cabinet front colours is simple. Click the first box on your left. When you chosen benchtop colour appears, move to the box on the right and click your cabinet front colour.

Gourmet Range

Gourmet is only limited by your imagination and budget.

We deliver our entire Dekton colour palette to your table. Nothing in our Gourmet Range is pre-prepared, not the colours & not the design. All cabinetry is custom made to fit your design and space.

When you're looking for colour inspiration in the Gourmet Range, simply click the Benchtop and Cabinet Front boxes to line up complimentary colours for your unique space. (Please note, it may not always be possible to pattern match marbles). If you wish to guarantee a pattern match we will discuss the options with you.

Components & Surfaces


Designed exclusively for Freeform, our cabinet fronts are comprised of a double walled system clad in Dekton. Dekton has also been chosen for our benchtop surfaces. In an outdoor setting this ultra-compact, sintered stone boasts unparalleled durability & beauty. Proven to retain its good looks in our New Zealand climate. 

We have paired the quality of our Dekton Benchtops & Cabinet Fronts with the latest German made 304 grade stainless steel hinges from Hettich.

With sleek clean lines, our design required handles and cut-outs to remain stylishly absent. After extensively searching, Freeform has sourced alfresco push to open drawer runners. This high-quality push mechanism has made it possible to maintain the sleek clean design, we know you’re going to love. 

    • Hot Pots The hottest of pans can be placed directly onto your Dekton benchtop without the risk of damage.
    • Flame Resistant Exposure to an open flame will not damage your Dekton Benchtop. Sintered stone contains no polymers or protective coatings that can scorch or melt.
    • Thermal Shock Dekton can be taken from extremes of hot too cold without suffering thermal shock.
    • Fading Dekton is UV stable, colours will not fade or turn yellow.
    • Maintenance Dekton is very easy to clean and never needs sealing. Mild soap and water are perfect for everyday cleaning,
    • Stains Dekton has no pores to absorb discolouring liquids. Wine, coffee, lemon juice, & grease can all be easily wiped away.
    • Moisture Dekton absorbs less than 0.09% of moisture, perfect in NZ frosts.
    • Scratching Cutting directly on a Dekton benchtop will not mark the surface but will blunt your knife. Scratching and marking are not a concern with Dekton.

Please Note Dekton is exceptionally durable but not invincible. Please take care not to knock edges of cabinet fronts with heavy items. As with all stone products it has the potential to chip.
