Koto Design - Stories about our award winning architecture.

The Koto blog features the latest in modern design and architecture with a focus on small buildings and cabin design. 

Estate diversification into tourism

 

In recent years, diversification has become integral for estates to ensure the survival of their property and long-term financial stability. As experts in design-led modular architecture, we work with estates and the tourism industry to help unlock their diversification plans and future-proof rural land.

The Koto modular concept is based upon high-performing luxury prefabricated dwellings that range upwards to multiple unit configurations; this offers a perfect solution for estate owners looking to expand horizons and modernise traditional accommodation. Our carbon-neutral modular homes and cabins are uniquely designed to complement natural surroundings, making them a stunning addition to beautiful grounds and green spaces.

A creative and inspiring new wave of responsible tourism has been building quietly for some time. As consumers, we are increasingly conscious of the way we enjoy our holiday experiences and how that directly impacts the future of our planet. ​Off-grid tourism in particular has gained momentum as a hospitality model in response to guest’s desires to digitally detox and be one with nature.

“Diversification into responsible tourism allows estates' endurance to be protected, providing them with the chance to prosper and be enjoyed by generations to come whilst importantly making the preservation of our precious ecosystem the ultimate priority.” -

Johnathon Little, Co-Founder

Sustainable diversification.

There are many exciting and innovative diversification opportunities for estates looking to branch out into eco-tourism specifically. For example, setting up sustainable glamping, hotels & retreats, B&Bs, and holiday let projects illustrates profitable and environmentally friendly ways to make the most of existing land. Koto's eco-cabins and carbon neutral homes turn diversifying such sustainable business enterprises from a dream to reality.

When it comes to diversifying estates, our luxury cabins are especially attractive to commercial clients as a turnkey solution on the basis that each dwelling is built in the factory and delivered complete to site, fully furnished with kitchens and bathrooms installed.

How we can help.

We work closely with estate clients to help them embrace the journey of diversification via the specialist services that we provide; including feasibility studies, pre-planning, masterplanning, planning applications, architectural services and interior design services.

Bringing a taste of Scandinavian slow living to the Norfolk/Suffolk border, Fritton Lake - forming part of the prestigious Somerleyton Estate - is a private holiday club that offers a beautiful lakeside setting. Showcasing eco-luxury Koto cabins, outdoor sport & recreation, and locally-sourced delicious food, the Fritton Estate is a pioneering eco-restoration project that helps to improve biodiversity.
