Koto at The Point is a small collection of architect-designed cabins tucked into the wild Cornish landscape above Polzeath.
Each home is thoughtfully placed for privacy and calm, yet connected to the energy and community of The Point’s coastal estate. Created in collaboration with award-winning design studio Koto, these cabins are more than just holiday homes. Each one is crafted with clean architectural lines, generous glazing, warm timber finishes and a sense of space that makes every day feel easy and expansive.
Created in collaboration with award-winning architects Koto, the eco-cabins draw inspiration from Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese craftsmanship. Thoughtfully designed to blur the lines between indoors and out, they frame the surrounding seascape through expansive picture windows and offer a sanctuary of calm just moments from the shoreline.
Built with sustainability in mind, the cabins feature natural materials, eco-conscious insulation, and an aesthetic that complements the rugged beauty of the Cornish coast. RHS Chelsea Flower Show award-winner Darren Hawkes’ effortless planting settles the cabins beautifully in the space, transforming what was once an old airstrip by planting wildflower meadows, Cornish hedges and native trees, creating a living habitat that only grows richer over time.
Whether you’re waking to the sound of the birds or stepping onto your private deck to watch the sunset over Pentire Point, life in a Koto cabin is about being present in the landscape. The cabins are available fully furnished and turnkey-ready, with interiors curated by the Koto Living team.
Their signature aesthetic is perhaps best described as soft minimalism – spaces that are pared back yet warm, carefully curated but never stark, spaces designed for comfort and practicality, from bespoke kitchens to spa-like bathrooms. While the cabins themselves are crafted with sustainably sourced materials and thoughtful design details that tread lightly on the landscape.
Owners enjoy access to the facilities at The Point, including golf, padel tennis, an indoor pool, and a health club complete with sauna and steam room, as well as a bar and restaurant, all within walking distance. There is no council tax, stamp duty, or conveyancing fees to pay (business rates apply) and ownership also comes with the added benefit of The Point’s expert property management service, meaning your home can work for you even when you’re not there.
To completely appreciate the benefits of Koto at The Point, you need to experience it. Rumps 16 and Rock 9 are now available to book through The Point Holidays from £175 per night, giving you the chance to immerse yourself in the design, the landscape and the pace of life before you make it your own.
There are currently two completed Koto cabins available to buy one of which is Rock 12; a beautifully positioned home featuring a log burner, roof lights, upgraded furnishings and private decking that opens onto views of the meadow and sky. A calm retreat, ready to enjoy now. In addition, there are five plots on which you can order your own bespoke cabin. Koto at The Point prices start at £660,000, email eva@thepointatpolzeath.co.uk to book a private tour.
