CABINs DESIGNed for place - built to scale
WORLDWIDE design and delivery
Cabins that ARE designed for YOUR place, brand and customer - but still scale.
Most cabin companies start with a template. We start with your land, your brand and your guest - then build a repeatable design system around it.
Koto is an architecture and design studio creating bespoke cabins for roll-out and ready-to-order cabins when speed matters - always calm, intentional, and built to perform.
The Koto Difference.
-
An architecture and design studio - with products when speed matters.
-
Designed to brief & budget — built for consistency across multi-unit sites.
-
Durable, energy-efficient, long-life construction with robust compliance and warranty pathways.
-
Architecture + interiors + furniture packs - so every detail feels intentional.
-
Sauna cabins, spa elements and wellness spaces designed as rituals, not add-ons.
“Where product companies start with a template, we start with your land, your brand and your guest - then build a repeatable design system around it.”
BESPOKE CABINS - BUILT FOR ROLL-OUT
Site-and-brand-specific cabins that become a repeatable system.
We design cabins around your landscape, guest journey and commercial goals — then translate that into a consistent kit-of-parts you can deploy across phases, plots and sites without losing design integrity.
Typical scope includes:
Feasibility + cabin mix (access, orientation, constraints, utilities)
Concept → developed design (architecture + interior direction)
Prototype + roll-out design system (modules, palettes, details)
Technical coordination support + delivery oversight (as required)
Best for: hotels, estates, retreat operators, branded destinations, multi-phase rollouts
READY-TO-ORDER CABINS - WHEN SPEED MATTERS
Proven designs, delivered quickly - with tailored options where it counts.
Choose a ready-to-order cabin when you want program certainty, then tailor key elements (layout, glazing, palette, upgrades, furniture packs) to suit your site and use case — from guest suites to studios and wellness spaces.
Best for: faster timelines, simpler sites, fixed budgets, single units or small clusters
Tell us about your site and timeline - we’ll recommend the right route.
Bespoke roll-out system or ready-to-order cabin: either way, you get architecture-led design and build-quality that lasts.
selected Projects
Not templates. Place-specific cabins shaped by land, brand and guest experience - built to perform and ready to scale.
“Koto supported us from the earliest design conversations through to the smallest finishing touches. nothing was overlooked.”
WILD CORNISH CABINS
A collection of 17 architect-designed cabins set across five acres of sensitively landscaped grassland - crafted in partnership with The Point and surrounded by gardens by RHS Gold Medalist Darren Hawkes, just moments from North Cornwall’s iconic beaches. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto generous private decks, framing sweeping coastal views and effortless indoor–outdoor living - delivered via off-site build for minimal disruption, with calm, contemporary interiors curated in natural, durable materials.
Off-grid luxury cabins on wheels, designed to sit lightly on the land - turning woodland clearings, viewpoints and hidden corners into destination stays.
Self-contained and fully mobile, Haku gives operators a flexible way to create standout accommodation with minimal groundworks and maximum sense of place.
A refined, hotel-grade guest experience - wherever it belongs.
Seven bespoke garden suites nestled in the grounds of Moor Hall, pairing Michelin-star hospitality with quiet, nature-immersed design. Botanical-inspired interiors, private terraces and hot tubs create a sensory retreat that feels completely of its setting.
A collection of bespoke hotel cabins set on the water’s edge within the historic Leeds Castle estate in Kent - designed as a modern complement to the castle’s grandeur. Scandinavian-inspired exteriors and calm, minimalist interiors create a serene retreat that bridges heritage and contemporary design.
WOODLAND RETREAT - hotel cabins
A retreat of exclusive cabins tucked into a small coastal woodland - inspired by the beach shacks and fishermen’s sheds found along the shoreline. Generous glazing and covered porches frame forest and wild meadow, creating light-filled interiors that feel calm and uncluttered. A short walk from Beadnell Beach and the wider Northumberland Coast, it’s a simple, elemental base for slow days outdoors.
A flatpack modular cabin collection designed for global shipping and straightforward assembly, with a calm minimalist aesthetic and sustainability at its core. From remote retreats to saunas, studios and guest suites, Niwa flexes to your brief - with optional furniture packs for a turnkey finish.
FRITTON LAKE CABINS
Quiet luxury set within 1,000 acres of rewilding on the Somerleyton Estate — a family-run private holiday club where you can fully disconnect and reset.
Available off-plan or ready-to-move-into, each cabin is designed around a single open façade framing woodland and lake views, with calm open-plan living, generous decks, and 2–3 bedroom layouts.
Owners also get access to a standout amenity set — from wild swimming and paddleboarding to a floating sauna, 22m heated pool, and instructor-led yoga.
