Introducing Grillo's Sitting Down Series
“The heart of the home is the kitchen. Perhaps it’s the same in the garden.” Kate Gould
Welcome to our ‘Sitting Down With’ series. This is where we catch up with garden designers, landscapers and specifiers to find out what inspired them to incorporate a Grillo Outdoor Kitchen into the space they were working on!
The series follows a similar structure where we asked each individual a few different questions, ranging from the requirements of the homeowner, right up to what they predict future trends may be. We also include photographs of the space they worked on, and the Grillo Outdoor Kitchen layout that was installed.

Brett mentioned ‘We designed the Grillo kitchen into the garden after seeing one at a trade fair and knowing it was exactly the right product for the space.’

Rosemary Coldstream
Rosemary Coldstream from the award-winning Rosemary Coldstream Garden Design commented “we selected Grillo because it was the perfect option for the client – size, space, storage, look and durability – it ticked all the boxes! It sits well in the space complimenting the garden room. The colour echoes the garden room door frame and provides balance to the design.”
