These Tiny Prefab Cabins Along U.K.’s Northern Coast Are Big on Nature

The series of three carbon-neutral cabins by Koto form a destination resort that plugs visitors into a pristine setting in Northumberland.

Koto, a U.K.–based prefab builder known for its geometric tiny homes, modular offices, and resort accommodations has just launched its latest, a series of three rentable black cabins that form a retreat known as Trees at Tughall along England’s Northumberland Coast.

The cabins that Koto designed for Trees at Tughall, a resort on the Northumberland Coast of England, are outfitted with vertical Welsh spruce siding that’s been stained black.

Inspired by the beach shacks and fisherman sheds that dot the area, the 300-square-foot, suite-like cabins—named Ash, Hawthorn, and Willow for the tree species found here—are designed in Koto’s signature "Japandi" style: angular in form, and with black-stained exteriors, natural wood interiors, and ample glazing for a strong connection with the outdoors.

The three cabins—Ash, Hawthorn, and Willow—are named for the species of trees that grow in the region, and each provides a unique experience on the site.
