UK-based prefab purveyors Koto and design agency Aylott & Van Tromp have teamed up to launch Hytte—a Swedish word for "cabin"—which provides stylish, turnkey prefabs to operators within the hospitality industry. Off-the-shelf or bespoke designs are available as individual units, and can be clustered to create the feel of a community or village.
Hytte’s prefab construction allows for faster setup and lower site impact.

"It’s about providing both client and consumer with something a little bit different in these strange times," says Aylott & Van Tromp and Hytte cofounder Nathan Aylott. "We wanted to give the client the ability to harness a site with minimal fuss, and create additional revenue with complete flexibility."
For the customer, Hytte seeks to provide a sense of escapism and comfort that "retains that raw feeling," says Aylott, "the lovely pared-back quality that comes from camping in the wild or being close to nature."
Each Hytte will be clad in shou sugi ban–treated larch that blends into the landscape.

All interior and exterior finishes can be customized to suit different needs. The Hytte can also be co-branded to match a client’s existing aesthetic.
