Nokken, a specialist in adaptable architectural solutions, has partnered with world-leading architects, the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) to launch a semi-permanent structure for the hospitality sector as demand for delivering memorable yet luxury experiences off the beaten track continues to rise.
Softshell has a lightweight timber frame and recyclable canvas, chosen so it can be easily transported and assembled in remote locations. In addition, it’s been designed to be modular and customisable so that operators can adapt the structure for various climates and terrains – from lush forested areas to desert landscapes.
Tapping into BIG’s expertise in sustainability, Softshell has also been created to have minimal design disturbance.
“We’re offering the hospitality industry something that stands apart from traditional tented structures,” says Nokken’s co-founder James Van Tromp.
