As experienced specialists in architecture and interior design,

Koto creates unique spaces that exude a sense of calm where
users can relax and be inspired, whilst feeling connected to the
great outdoors. Our on and off-grid carbon-neutral homes and
cabins are now available in the UK, Europe and the USA.

All of our energy-neutral buildings are produced to the very

highest standards and are delivered from our fabricators,
directly to your site. Every Koto home has been crafted with
the utmost respect for both the environment and the people
we work with.

We believe in the ethos of Scandinavian design and in their way

of living. Taking quality time in nature with friends and family is

“All of our business activities
aim to be carbon neutral and
with zero waste as a minimum
standard. Further to this, our
aspiration is to become entirely
carbon negative.”
Theo Dales, Founder
SUSTAINABILITY
Our design-led modular Koto homes
and cabins are built off-site, using locally
sourced and sustainable materials. This
allows for exceptional levels of insulation,
airtightness and sustainability in our
cost-effective and low-energy homes and
cabins.
Services can be tested at the factory prior
to the units being dispatched, giving our
clients complete reassurance when their
Koto building arrives on site.
Koto homes (UK) are built almost entirely
from sustainably sourced timbers, which
means that carbon dioxide is captured
in the fabric of the building and actively
removed from the atmosphere, creating
a carbon-neutral home. This mass timber
housing construction method could
become part of the solution to help
reduce climate change.
Each of our Koto homes has a
generational lifespan.
KOTO HOMES

Koto creates high-quality, pioneering and sustainable

modular homes. Each design is balanced, dynamic
and striking, whilst reflecting nature and its
environment. The minimalist Nordic aesthetic is
captured in every Koto construction, each one
blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings.

At Koto, we design and deliver bespoke and

off-the-shelf prefabricated luxury homes. Our
design-led, high-quality readymade homes provide
a modern and sustainable alternative to conventional
housing in the UK, Europe, and USA markets.

Buy an off-the-shelf modular house from our range

- Sora, Yksi, and Piha - or commission a bespoke
project suitable to your site and budget via our
architectural services.

We tend to build 2-5 bedroom homes but are not

limited by project sizes.

KOTO FALCON HOUSE

Exclusive design
(similar bespoke options
available upon request.)

The two bed upside down Koto

Falcon House was created
to maximise the views of the
surrounding nature from the
living spaces, creating the
feeling of living within the
trees whilst the lower floor was
designed to accommodate
more intimate and cosy spaces.

Though the sculptural form is

strong, the striking design sits
well within the surrounding
nature. This modular house is
now launched at Lower Mill
Estate in the Cotswolds and
at Habitat Firsts newest site -
Birchwood located in the North
Devon UNESCO Biosphere.

Contact us for more info.

KOTO TREE HOUSE

Exclusive design
(similar bespoke options
available upon request.)

The Tree House provides a

generous 3-bedroom dwelling.
The unit is split over two
storeys and provides spacious
living spaces that form a strong
connection to the outdoors.
The Tree House has a sublime
sculptural form inspired by
mature woodland.

The vertical emphasis of the

cladding, fenestration and
balconies relate to the tree
trunks of the surrounding
woodland. The structure of
the building is almost entirely
timber based which means that
significant amounts of carbon
are captured in the fabric of
these homes.

Contact us for more info.

KOTO UIST HOUSE

Exclusive design
(similar bespoke options
available upon request.)

Currently under construction,

the Koto Uist House proposal
has been developed to work
with the surrounding landscape
to form a sympathetic response
to the land forms, views and
naturally occurring colours and
tones in the landscape.

Contact us for more info.

KOTO TREANAGUE HOUSE

Exclusive design
(similar bespoke options available
upon request.)

The Treneague Paragraph 79

house takes a sculptural approach
to create a layered form of
exemplary architecture which is
deeply connected with nature and
the landscape. A groundbreaking
approach to sustainability will be
employed that results in lifetime
net-zero carbon emissions.

The centre of the project is

the existing gardens and the
architecture will serve to enhance
the gardens through a series of
visceral but subtle experiences.
The architecture itself, although
beautiful, is secondary to the
landscape and biodiversity
improvements that are proposed
on the site.
