Bespoke Outdoor Kitchens.
Designed for the British Climate

Handcrafted, Oak outdoor cooking spaces conceived as part of the architecture of your garden.

Built in Scotland - Delivered worldwide

Our outdoor kitchens are conceived as integrated architectural elements to compliment your outdoor spaces. Built from robust materials and carefully detailed to withstand year-round exposure, each installation is handcrafted to integrate with its surroundings and the way you live outdoors.

Whether anchoring a terrace, forming the heart of a garden renovation, or supporting hospitality use, these kitchens are designed for longevity. Quietly ageing with the landscape rather than competing with it.

BUILT FOR YEAR-ROUND USE

The British climate places particular demands on outdoor structures. Our kitchens are unique in combining the beauty of natural, Scottish Oak, with cutting edge panel materials that retain weather resistance and stability. This approach retains the warmth and joy of using timber whilst producing a practical, beautiful and adaptable kitchen to suit your outdoor space.

 

Our kitchens are designed with moisture movement, ventilation and drainage in mind, using materials and construction methods chosen for durability rather than appearance alone.

​

Solid timber elements are detailed to weather gracefully rather than deteriorate, while high-quality stainless components and outdoor-rated appliances ensure reliable performance through changing seasons.

​

Routine care is minimal, typically limited to occasional cleaning and optional re-oiling depending on the desired appearance. Bespoke fitted covers can also be supplied for those times of the year where the kitchen may only see occasional use.

INTEGRATED INTO THE LANDSCAPE

We design each kitchen to sit comfortably within their setting, aligned with sightlines, levels and circulation through the garden. Proportion, mass and material tone are carefully considered so the kitchen becomes part of the architecture of the space.

​

We frequently collaborate with landscape designers and architects to ensure the finished piece complements planting schemes, paving and built elements.

APPLIANCES AS SUPPORTING ELEMENTS

Cooking equipment can be specified to suit individual preferences, from charcoal grills to gas systems, sinks and refrigeration. However the emphasis is always on creating a cohesive structure around these components rather than simply housing them.

We can advise on suitable equipment for performance, durability and integration within a timber construction.

​​

These are some of our recommended appliances:

​Napoleon Grills

Bull Grills

Big Green Egg

Gozeney Pizza Oven

Ooni Pizza Oven

Vauth sagel pull-out bins

MATERIALS THAT IMPROVE WITH AGE

We use characterful & sustainably sourced Scottish Oak. Through our network of tree-surgeons forestry management professionals, we source trees that have been blown down in storms or removed for safety reasons. These are processed to find the best timbers and sanded + treated for beauty and longevity.

 

Out panels are made from carefully selected structural materials chosen for long-term outdoor performance, including Tricoya Extreme and Polygood.

 

A variety of work surfaces are available including Paperstone (great environmental credentials), Dekton, Corian & natural stone options.
