HOSPITALITY & RETREATS
Spaces worth travelling for.
Bespoke suites, cabins, wellness spaces and destination structures for boutique retreats, estates and design-led hospitality operators.
DESIGNED AROUND THE GUEST EXPERIENCE
The most memorable stays begin with more than accommodation.
They create a sense of arrival, atmosphere and escape — a place shaped around the landscape, the guest and the reason for travelling there.
MXN DESIGN creates one-off hospitality spaces for boutique retreats, private estates and independent operators who want to offer something genuinely distinctive.
From self-contained suites and cabins to outdoor wellness spaces, destination structures and complete interiors, every project is developed around its setting and commercial ambition rather than selected from a standard range.
WHAT WE CAN CREATE
One site. Many reasons to stay.
A successful retreat is rarely defined by one building alone.
Accommodation, wellness, landscape, lighting and the spaces between them should work together as one guest experience.
MXN DESIGN can develop an individual element or help shape a wider destination — from a single signature suite to a collection of cabins, an outdoor sauna, natural swimming pond or complete hospitality setting.
A private retreat shaped by cedar, glass and landscape.
Wellness shaped by water, planting and sunset.
Heat, stillness and atmosphere after dark.
A destination structure with a presence of its own.
NOT A RANGE.
A RESPONSE.
We do not begin with a standard unit and ask where it might fit.
We begin with the site, the landscape, the intended guest and the commercial idea behind the retreat.
Every project is developed as a response to those conditions — considering arrival, privacy, views, atmosphere, materials and how the space will be operated over time.
The result is not another cabin placed on the land. It is something that feels as though it belongs there and gives guests a reason to remember it.
A BUILT EXAMPLE
NOCTURNE
NOCTURNE is a one-off, self-contained hospitality suite designed as a complete guest experience.
Its angled architecture, glazed end walls, integrated kitchen, marble bathroom, mezzanine bedroom and bespoke interior were developed together as one continuous idea.
Created without relying on a standard cabin format, it demonstrates how a compact footprint can still feel immersive, distinctive and genuinely luxurious.

Our Ribble Valley base is more than a studio — it is a small design village of cabins, workshops, stables and outdoor spaces, each with its own character.
Everything shown here has been designed and built by Knowhaus — not simply rendered on a screen. Photographs can only tell part of the story.
