NEW BRITISH DESIGN TRANSLATES HOTEL CABINS INTO PORTABLE TENTS
Louise Middleton, founder of Kudhva campsite hotel, collaborates with architects Ben and Hannah Huggins of New British Design to create the K-Tent, a lightweight, off-ground tent that translates the ethos of the original Kudhva cabins into a portable format. Constructed with a recyclable aluminum frame and durable canvas, the K-Tent combines comfort with minimal environmental impact. Its tripod legs adjust to accommodate uneven terrain, making it versatile for diverse landscapes. Designed to house two guests comfortably, the K-Tent reimagines the traditional tipi and yurt aesthetic while maintaining a minimal footprint and off-grid functionality.

K-Tent captures off-grid lifestyle with its modular design
The K-Tent by Sandford-based New British Design extends Kudhva’s vision of architectural wilderness experiences, responding to a growing demand for accessible versions of the original cabins. With its lightweight and modular design, the tent offers a solution that avoids the complexities of planning permissions while capturing the off-grid lifestyle celebrated by Kudhva’s off-grid campsite in Cornwall. This innovation makes the K-Tent suitable for wellness retreats, festival stays, and wilderness adventures.
