Koto Living Projects
From exclusive residences on the Cornwall coast to Michelin-starred restaurants with hotel rooms, and city apartments within the iconic Battersea Power Station, we’ve crafted interiors for private and commercial clients that celebrate heritage, embrace their surroundings, and embody our ethos of quiet luxury.
Cornwall Barn
Set in the heart of Cornwall, this modern barn was designed as a serene family retreat - a space that balances beauty, functionality, and sustainability. Surrounded by wild countryside, it offers a quiet kind of luxury, grounded in nature, simplicity, and connection to place.
Battersea Power Station
Battersea Power Station stands as a symbol of London’s rich industrial heritage, a landmark steeped in history and character. In designing this exclusive apartment, we sought to honour this legacy while infusing the space with our signature quiet luxury aesthetic, creating a calming energy that invites residents to reconnect and unwind.
Uist House
This four-bed family residence on the remote Hebridean isle of North Uist is designed in harmony with its dramatic landscape. Interiors frame sweeping coastal views, using natural materials, tactile textures, and crafted details to create a calm, contemporary retreat deeply connected to its surroundings.
Moor Hall Hotel
Seven botanically inspired hotel suites at the three Michelin-starred Moor Hall Restaurant with Rooms, each with bespoke Koto interiors that reflect the essence of the restaurant - from garden to plate to room -through crafted details and a connection to the surrounding landscape.
