History

Nokken was founded in 2022 by James Van Tromp and Nathan Aylott and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. [3] [4]

Design and Features

The Nokken Hotel Cabins are primarily constructed from timber and other materials chosen with a focus on environmental friendliness in order to create a product of low environmental impact. The exterior is finished with European Larch and Dekton for weatherproofing and durability. [5] [6]

Each cabin is modular, allowing for connectivity to adjoining units and offering unlimited adaptable layouts. Large windows are integrated with the goal of connecting residents with the natural surroundings, while the interiors focus on an open design and follow a minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic. The cabins can be assembled individually or in groups. [7] [8]

Sustainability

Nokken Hotel Cabins focus on the use of eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs optimizing natural light and reducing energy consumption. The cabins are transported in a fully modular single piece. This allows for a reduced environmental impact from transportation, and faster construction times. [9] [10] The cabins also incorporate off-grid technologies, such as solar panels, along with sustainable water management practices like rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling. [11] [5]
