Life in an A-Frame cabin is a frequent fantasy for us here at Field Mag HQ. But it doesn't stop there—the draw of a peaceful hideaway can come in many forms, from modular backcountry hut to backcountry yurt. Blending characteristics of each, plus a healthy dose of luxe design, is the new Nokken Softshell, a new semi-permanent dwelling for off-grid living.
Founded in 2022 with a focus on selling pre-fabricated cabins and ADUs to independent owners and hospitality groups, the newest design by Europe-based Nokken delivers something entirely unique. The 190-square-foot Softshell is comprised of a lightweight timber frame, baseplate, and weather-resistant canvas cover—with optional loft netting—creating an elevated glamping tent that appears to be Nokken's first semi-permanent design.
