Koto’s New Prefab Cabins Provide Hoteliers With Sleek, Scalable Accommodations

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

Multiple Hytte cabins can be clustered together to create a village layout.

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 with 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 to recede the buildings 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 clients’ existing aesthetic.
