WHERE HUMANS COME TO BŁOOM

Interior Design
Our vision for the Bloom interiors has always been inspired by the essence of the outdoors - To capture that joyous feeling that comes with camping in nature that is aligned towards functionality, simplicity and quality rather than glitz and glamour. This purposely reinforces a sense of escapism and a greater connection and emphasis to the landscape.Bloom captures an effortless Nordic styling within every cabin, each one blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings and offering a local connection to the guest.
These cabins are ‘Swiss army knives’ combining everything you need and nothing you don’t. All packaged together in a modern, natural aesthetic that will only get better with age.
With the interiors clad in wall to wall wood, the overall feeling is soft, welcoming and embracing. This is further complimented but matching joinery and zonal lighting that creates the ultimate environment for being close to nature but in perfect comfort.
The modern and sleek bathrooms round-off the interior spaces by providing a sanctuary that would not be out of place in the finest boutique apartments.
Exterior Design
The exterior of Bloom has been created to be tough, functional and adaptable. Being able to perform in both freezing cold climates and boiling hot ones is no easy feat, however these residences do with it ease.How? We invested months of research into the Bloom’s thermal properties and breath-ability ratings ensuring it performs as required and puts comfort foremost, and all achieved using eco-wool and wood pulp layering. You’ll never find any of that nasty, plasticity, artificial foam insulation used.. ever!
Working in tandem with the dark stained larch cladding, our Nokken signature perforated metal-work provides your cabin with a distinctive modern and minimalist look, combining graceful rawness with sleekness. This isn’t just for good looks though, over time the perforated nature of the steel allows for plants to grow upwards, truly integrating the unit into the landscape.
Many of our Bloom apartments ‘footprints’ have a picture window arrangement choice. For example, a version where the main window is located on the short side of a rectangle and a version on the long side. This allows for even greater flexibility and use of natural light. All important if you want to either frame the view of a beautiful landscape or obtain a greater degree of privacy.
