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. 

HYTTE

 

‘SLOW LUXURY HAS A NEW DESTINATION.’

Hytte (Norwegian for Cabin) is a new modular hotel and retreat product brought to you and co-created by the award-winning teams at Koto Design and Aylott + Van Tromp.

This new partnership designs, furnishes and delivers design-led, sustainable cabins specifically for the hotel and leisure industry. Hytte delivers both off-the-shelf designs and bespoke co-branded cabins for hoteliers and leisure operators alike.

Designed by the award-winning architects at Koto and in collaboration with hospitality experts and interior designers Aylott + Van Tromp, Hytte redefines prefabricated, modular hotels and retreats dedicated to creating space for escapism.

“The modular hotel concept, called Hytte, allows landowners and hotel operators to implement a custom configuration of Japandi-style cabins.” Dwell

The Hytte modular concept will allow landowners, developers, and operators a commercially flexible and personally tailored offering, whether a start-up or multi-national brand. Each concept is based upon a modular cabin unit that ranges upwards to multiple unit configurations which in turn is based around the idea of a traditional village community.

Whether it will be shorter localised getaways reachable by car, bike or foot, or opting for an increasingly isolated accommodation, much of our newly acquired social distancing habits are here for the long haul.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so with an undeniable need for alternative hospitality solutions, Hytte was created with the aim of creating a simple, scalable product, that is adaptable to varying needs and requirements.

“Hytte is working with ambitious partners to disrupt the current hospitality and tourism accommodation model - from existing hotel brands to new start-up ventures.”

Nathan Aylott - Co-Founder Hytte

To reinforce a sense of escapism, a minimalist Nordic aesthetic is captured in every Hytte construction, with each one blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings and offering a local connection to the guest.

Whether working within an existing brand framework or the very start of a commercial venture, the Hytte modular system allows true flexibility in order to cater to both the owners and guests every need.

“Each Hytte unit employs a fabric first approach to energy efficiency - wrapped in natural and recycled insulations to reduce energy demand before considering the potential of expensive ‘renewable’ energy systems.”
