FIND YOUR KOTO

Cabins, spa & wellness spaces, homes and interiors. Architecture-led design, bespoke to place, built to perform. Worldwide design and delivery.

The Koto Difference.

Most companies start with a fixed product. We start with place, your land, your brand and the people who will live, stay and restore there. Then create architecture-led solutions that belong.

Koto is an architecture and design studio delivering cabins, spa & wellness spaces, homes and interiors. We design bespoke systems when the site demands it, and ready-to-order routes when speed matters, always calm, intentional, and built to perform.

CABINS

Cabins designed for place - built to scale.

Koto designs architect-led hotel and retreat cabins that feel specific to their landscape - and still scale. We start with your site constraints, brand and guest journey, then translate that into a repeatable design system you can deploy across plots, phases or multiple locations without losing design integrity.

Choose a bespoke roll-out route when the destination, planning context or guest experience demands a tailored response - or choose a ready-to-order route when speed and programme certainty matter most. Either way, you get calm, intentional architecture, build-quality that lasts, and the option to integrate interiors and furniture packs for “ready for guests” keys.

“Where product companies start with a template, we start with place — then build a repeatable design system around it.”

SPA & WELLNESS

Wellness spaces designed as rituals, not add-ons.

From saunas and spa elements to calm recovery spaces and wellness suites - we design experiences that slow guests down, deepen the stay, and elevate the destination. Wellness isn’t an add-on - it’s architecture. Koto designs saunas and spa elements that create calm, restorative rituals: spaces that slow guests down, deepen the stay, and elevate the destination. From standalone sauna cabins to integrated wellness suites, our approach is rooted in simplicity, natural materials and a strong connection to place.

Our Niwa Sauna is a signature Spa Element, made to order and crafted with sustainable materials, with options including wood-fired or electric heating, and customisation available to suit your site and setting. Use it as a private ritual for a home, or as a high-value amenity for hotels and retreats.

HOMES

Homes for modern living - calm, crafted, sustainable.

Koto partners with clients to design and deliver extraordinary, high-performing bespoke homes shaped by landscape, lifestyle and a deep connection to nature. From early layout planning through kitchens, materials and fixtures, every detail can be customised to create a home that’s personal, distinctive and built for modern living.

We also offer off-the-shelf homes, ready to order today. Our signature model, the Hytti, is a single-storey home designed for open-plan, indoor-outdoor living - available in two-bedroom or three-bedroom layouts within the same refined envelope, with curated finishes to make it uniquely yours.

INTERIORS

Quiet luxury interiors

Delivered as a complete service across refurbishment and new build projects. We create calm, functional spaces with a “quiet luxury” approach - working across private residences and hospitality environments including hotels, retreats and restaurants.

Our service can be fully turnkey: from early design direction through to procurement, installation and final styling, including furniture packs designed to deliver ready-to-live (or ready-to-let) spaces with one cohesive vision. Whether your project is a Koto building or independent, we work closely and collaboratively to deliver clarity, consistency and a finish that feels intentional.
