In collaboration with the wonderful Carolyn Grohmann of Secret Garden Design
Set high on a wooded hillside above a historic Scottish town, this distinguished Arts and Crafts home has been reimagined with a sensitive, design-led approach to its garden. The new landscape design by Carolyn embraces both the architectural detail of the house and the natural fall of the site, creating layered spaces that unfold gradually, with a clear sense of place.
We were invited to supply outdoor furniture for the newly curated outdoor family area, a west-facing terrace designed for entertaining. At its centre sits a bespoke ten-seat dining set in our Matt Black finish – quietly sculptural against the soft red tones of the herringbone pavers and surrounding gravel, this set features an Artemis 2.85m table and 10 elegant Artemis Armchairs. Cushions in Sunbrella Ochre offer a warm, subtle contrast and a tactile accent that responds to both stone and planting.
Further along a sheltered path to the rear of the house, a Rissington bench in the same Matt Black and Ochre scheme offers a more contemplative moment — a place to pause, away from the main terrace, with glimpses through the planting and the town beyond.
Carolyn has done a fantastic job at transforming the outdoor space for her clients, making use of traditional and local materials that complement the character of the home, alongside high quality manufacturers who supplied features and products that complement each other and support her vision.
As with all Oxley’s pieces, the furniture was made to order from recycled aluminium and designed to last for generations, giving Carolyn’s clients the piece of mind that their 12 seat dining table will endure the challenging Scottish climate in a way that other materials could not.
