A Backyard Sanctuary by Hamptons

A Backyard Sanctuary by Hamptons creates an area for backyard residing. A backyard takes us out of our houses, lets us decompress, play and reconnect.

In collaboration with Hamptons and Backyard Membership London, Koto Design have created a carbon impartial backyard cabin. The small, sculptural construction is designed to perform as a spot of seclusion and meditation, an immersive house to attach with the encircling energy of nature and vegetation.

Underneath the cover of pine and birch bushes the sound of water gently trickles by means of the backyard. The charred timber exterior (shou-sugi -ban) attracts from Japanese design affect and the traditional Japanese philosophy Wabi Sabi, targeted on accepting the transient nature of life and the sweetness in imperfection. The construction frames immersive views of the backyard.

Rounded glacial boulders and pure stepping stones distinction with the constructing and supply an intentional approach to sluggish the journey to the cabin, by means of the planting and throughout the shifting water. Boundaries of Fagus sylvatica hedging and charred larch panels present a foil to indicate off the gorgeous bark of the Betula nigra and Pinus sylvetris.

The backyard is wealthy in pollinating vegetation with water for wildlife and densely planted bushes to encourage birds into the backyard. Sweetly scented favourites together with phlox and Syringa repeat by means of the planting to offer clouds of scent because the customer meanders by means of the backyard.
