Koto: sustainable architecture houses & cabins
You may have noticed from my Instagram feed that I adore a cabin escape! Being immersed in nature, along with the slower pace of life cabin escapes offer, is what I’m all about. So, you can imagine my delight when I came across Koto whilst browsing Instagram. Koto create sustainable architecture. I was so awed by the beautiful photography on their feed, along with their belief in the ethos of Scandinavian design and a slow pace of living, that I decided I simply must share with you all.
As you know, Green and the Great is all about embracing nature, slow living and sustainability, so Koto’s ethos behind their brand fits really well with what I am advocating.
So, who are Koto?
They are a team of architects and designers with a love for the great outdoors. They design and craft cabins built to the highest quality housing standards. These are luxury, architect designed, energy efficient small buildings that are beautiful and built to last. They are influenced by Scandinavian design, which of course means they are wonderfully minimalist.
Embrace slow living the Scandinavian way
Personally, I don’t own a lovely piece of land in the forest or near the sea, but if I did I know that I’d love to have a Koto home built, somewhere I could escape the stresses of everyday life and just be. However, the wonderful news is, you don’t necessarily need to have inherited a huge patch of land to benefit. Cabins range from open houses to small, medium and large cabins. If you are looking for some extra space, say a yoga studio, a home office or a kids playroom, then the small and medium cabins would be ideally suited. They are also delivered whole and complete directly to your site, bonus!
Koto, sustainable architecture – where did it start?
The pair behind Koto are Johnathon and Zoe, who share a passion for creativity, architecture, design and surfing. They have spent the past decade living in Norway where their love for the natural elements and Scandinavian design began.
Do check out their Instagram feed to be inspired by beautiful photography and if you are looking to create more space, then check out their website here..
Now I’m off to cook a roast and dream of the day I can own a Koto cabin in the forest!
