Which size of outdoor kitchen should you choose for your number of guests?
According to the Nox catalogue, the Studio is designed for 4 to 6 people, the Terrace and the Loggias for 6 to 8, and the Pavillon for 8 to 12; a Nova is chosen by the length of its worktop.
4 to 6 people on a terrace: the Studio
The Nox Studio (226 cm, from 14 900 € incl. VAT) is the most compact of the covered models: 620 mm sink cabinet, 30″ 3-burner barbecue, 21″ glass-door fridge, two shelves. As options, the extractor hood and the television cannot be combined: you choose one of the two.
6 to 8 people in a garden: the Terrace or a Loggia
The Nox Terrace, the best-seller in the range, adds a 480 mm 3-drawer cabinet and an extractor hood over 285 cm. The Loggias, 269 cm long, stand 112 cm high; a 43″ television and a connected speaker can be added as options.
8 to 12 people in a large garden: the Pavillon
The Nox Pavillon (359 cm, 319 cm of it usable) brings together an 800 mm sink cabinet, two 480 mm 3-drawer cabinets, a 30″ 3-burner barbecue, a 24″ fridge, an extractor hood and an electric wall cabinet.
No canopy: which Nova?
The four Nova models share the 610 mm sink cabinet and the 36″ 4-burner barbecue. The Nova S (280 cm) opens the range, the Nova M (308 cm) balances worktop, storage and budget, the Nova L (323 cm) is for those who cook often, and the Nova XL (384 cm) for large gatherings, with two 24″ fridges.
How do you read a modular kitchen?
Add up the cabinet widths: the total must fit within the target length, or within the usable width under a canopy. Sink cabinet: 61, 69 or 80 cm. Barbecue: 77 cm for 30″, 92 cm for 36″. Fridge: 52 cm for 21″, 61 cm for 24″. 3-drawer cabinet: 45, 48, 60 or 74 cm. The Terrace thus lines up 69 + 77 + 48 + 52 = 246 cm within 251 cm of usable width. Beyond that, move up to the next model or to the made-to-measure outdoor kitchen.

How much space should you allow on the terrace or in the garden?
Allow for the length and depth of the kitchen, at least 30 cm between the kitchen and a wall, stabilised and level ground, and a road suitable for vehicles for the delivery.
A Nox kitchen is installed without foundations or masonry and is fixed to the ground by its four feet.
Footprint and planning rules
The footprint is 2.11 m² for the Studio, 2.66 m² for the Terrace and 3.35 m² for the Pavillon. Article R421-9 of the French town planning code requires a prior declaration for a free-standing construction of more than 5 m², up to 20 m²; below that threshold and outside protected areas, no formality is required. In a protected area, the declaration becomes the rule: check the local plan (PLU) at the town hall.
Weight, access and utilities
In standard configuration, the catalogue gives 650 kg for the Studio, 850 kg for the Terrace, 1 050 kg for the Pavillon and 400 kg per Loggia: on a roof terrace, have the structure checked. The kitchen arrives finished, in one piece, by a road accessible to a 19-tonne lorry; crane lifting, which is not systematic, is assessed in advance. Also provide a 3G2.5 mm electrical junction box, a water connection ready for hook-up and a drain.
Open or covered kitchen: what height and budget should you plan for?
A covered Nox kitchen (Studio, Terrace, Pavillon), from 14 900 € incl. VAT, requires 93.2 cm of depth and 235 cm of height, against 65 and 91.5 cm for an open Nova.
In return, the roof closes over the whole kitchen: dust, leaves, wind and rain stay outside. The Loggias, with a motorised lifting roof, are 112 cm high in the catalogue; the height with the roof raised is confirmed on the quote. A Nova, from 9 400 € incl. VAT, can be covered by a pergola or an awning, to be budgeted separately: the solutions are compared in our guide to the covered outdoor kitchen.
What does the advertised price of a stainless steel outdoor kitchen include?
At Nox outdoor kitchens, the advertised price includes the stainless steel structure, the model's standard equipment and the included finishes; delivery, installation and any crane lifting are priced separately, on the quote.
- Included: brushed stainless steel worktop in a Tree Bark finish, 20 interior colours and 4 exterior finishes, at no extra cost unless the configurator states otherwise.
- Options, depending on the model and the space available: sintered stone worktop 490 € excl. VAT, ice maker placed on the worktop 350 € excl. VAT, dishwasher 690 € excl. VAT.
- Services: delivery priced by the kilometre, 190 € excl. VAT minimum; installation 690 € excl. VAT, around 4 hours, connections included; crane lifting on quotation.
The structure is guaranteed for 10 years, the kitchen's electrical appliances for 2 years. Stated materials: anti-fingerprint 304 stainless steel and a marine-grade PVDF coating, detailed in the complete guide to the stainless steel outdoor kitchen.
Which mistakes should you avoid when comparing stainless steel outdoor kitchens?
The first mistake is to compare the price of a single module with that of an equipped kitchen: line up cooking, sink, refrigeration, storage, taxes and services before drawing any conclusion.
- Mixing prices incl. and excl. VAT. ENO displays prices incl. VAT; the OFYR and WWOO pages noted on 22 September 2026 do not specify the tax.
- Confusing length with usable width. Under the Studio's canopy, count 198 cm of modules, not 226.
- Forgetting the height. The Studio, Terrace and Pavillon stand 235 cm tall: check windows and roof overhangs.
- Assuming an option fits every model. The 43″ television is offered on the Pavillon and the Loggias, not on the other models.
- Arriving without the utilities ready. A supply that is not prepared on installation day can lead to extra charges and a postponement.
Verdict: which model should you choose for your space and your guests?
Choose the protection you want first, then the length according to your guests, and finally the equipment: these three criteria are enough to decide between the nine models in the Nox range.
- If you already have a pergola and are aiming for the entry price, choose the Nova S, from 9 400 € incl. VAT.
- If you cook often, choose the Nova L, from 10 900 € incl. VAT.
- If you host large gatherings in the open air, choose the Nova XL, from 11 900 € incl. VAT.
- If your terrace is compact and you are 4 to 6, choose the Studio.
- If you are 6 to 8 and want a kitchen that closes up, choose the Terrace.
- If you entertain 8 to 12 people, choose the Pavillon.
- If you want a kitchen that stays low once closed, with a 43″ television as an option, choose a Loggia.
Where can you see a Nox stainless steel outdoor kitchen and how do you configure it?
A Nox kitchen can be seen in the Var by appointment or at selected dealers in the network, and is configured by video call with a project manager, with no commitment.
The quote is sent within 48 to 72 working hours after the configuration is submitted. For 6 to 8 guests, start with the Nox Terrace; without a canopy, the Nox Nova L; to entertain on a larger scale, the Nox Pavillon. Near Cahors, a Terrace equips a stone house: see the Lamagdelaine project.
Frequently asked questions
Which is the most affordable stainless steel outdoor kitchen at Nox outdoor kitchens?
In the catalogue, it is the Nox Nova S, from 9 400 € incl. VAT, or 7 833 € excl. VAT. It measures 280 × 65 × 91.5 cm and comes equipped with a 610 mm sink cabinet with sink and mixer tap, a 600 mm 3-drawer cabinet, a 36″ 4-burner barbecue and a 24″ fridge. It is sold without a canopy, excluding delivery, installation and crane lifting.
What depth should you allow for a stainless steel outdoor kitchen?
At Nox outdoor kitchens, allow 65 cm of depth for an open Nova, 88.5 cm for a Loggia with a lifting roof and 93.2 cm for a Studio, a Terrace or a Pavillon with a motorised canopy. Add at least 30 cm between the kitchen and a wall, to keep access clear and allow for maintenance.
What size of outdoor kitchen do you need to host 8 people?
According to the Nox outdoor kitchens catalogue, the Terrace (285 cm, from 16 900 € incl. VAT) and the Loggias (269 cm, as a fixed package) are designed for 6 to 8 people, and the Pavillon (359 cm, from 19 900 € incl. VAT) for 8 to 12. Without a canopy, the 384 cm Nova XL, from 11 900 € incl. VAT, is made for large gatherings.
What does “marine grade” mean on a stainless steel outdoor kitchen?
The term deserves a close reading, because it does not always mean the same thing. At Nox outdoor kitchens, the steel is anti-fingerprint 304 stainless steel, and marine grade describes the PVDF coating, designed for coastal climates: UV, sea spray, rain and intense heat, without fading or rust. On another product sheet, ask what the term applies to.
How much does a stainless steel kitchen with a motorised canopy cost?
At Nox outdoor kitchens, a stainless steel kitchen with a built-in motorised canopy costs from 14 900 € incl. VAT (Studio, 226 cm), 16 900 € incl. VAT (Terrace, 285 cm) or 19 900 € incl. VAT (Pavillon, 359 cm). The Loggias with a motorised lifting roof come as a fixed package: 15 900 € incl. VAT (Light), 15 200 € incl. VAT (Dark). Prices exclude delivery, installation and crane lifting.
Can you order a stainless steel kitchen to the exact dimensions of your terrace?
Yes, in width, with the Nox Nova Sur Mesure, configurable from 200 to 700 cm. Its price is calculated linearly from the width, based on the four Nova models in the catalogue, then confirmed on the quote. The cabinets follow your measurements: made-to-measure 3-drawer cabinet from 40 to 90 cm, made-to-measure sink cabinet from 60 to 90 cm.
