The Cocoon is a customizable luxury accommodation pod designed for our sister company Nomadic Resorts. This tensile membrane structure allows for rapid construction in isolated and environmentally sensitive sites. The first Loopers were commissioned by Wild Coast Tented Lodge, a unique 36-tent safari camp located near Yala National Park in the south of Sri Lanka. The bespoke interior was designed by Bo Reudler Studio.
The pod provides comforts of a luxury hotel room and a durability for use in extreme environments with minimal physical footprint. Prefabrication offsite allows for a fast and efficient assembly and a future disassembly process onsite.
The interior concept combines ecological luxury and local elegance with a contemporary edge. It captures a sense of exploration and adventure associated with steampunk, airships and safari and campaign tents. The arched interior feels cocooning yet spacious, with all elements meticulously designed to accommodate the curvature of the fabric-lined walls.
Central to the main space is a four-poster bed and bespoke campaign furniture that evokes bygone eras of discovery. In the open bathroom, guests bathing in the freestanding solid copper bath can enjoy private views of the bushland behind. Noble materials such as copper, brass, leather and plantation teak will age gracefully while local textiles add colourful accents.
