I first came across the term 'Sitooterie' last year, and have since been obsessed with the idea of having one in my own backyard. A classic sitooterie has its roots in Scottish culture but we think they make sense in modern backyards all over the world.
They are characterized as outdoor seating areas with an element of privacy and seclusion. Essentially, they are an outdoor space to relax and a place to feel grounded in nature. 'Whether you are already acquainted with the term or not, the sitooterie is the secret ingredient to transforming your outdoor space into a haven for relaxation or a cozy spot for social gatherings,' says David Thompson, principal and founder of Assembledge. 'It’s all about curating a place where you can reconnect and recharge.'
