Mobiltels
Mobiltels is a conceptual design proposal for a series of mobile structures that can be moved from place to place in the same way mobile homes are moved. In this case, each of the structures has been designed to function as various parts of a high-end, small scale, luxury hotel or resort that can operate totally detached from conventional power grids in a self-contained way. This autonomy would allow the Mobiltels to be placed into unusual and exciting landscapes normally off limits to conventional hotels and resorts, without harming those kinds of places. I envision these Mobiltels occupying a specific location for relatively short periods of time before they pack up and move on. In this way, the environmental impact is reduced, and the variety of unique experiences for the guests is dramatically increased.
Many different kinds of mobile structures can be developed to accommodate different kinds of hotel and/or resort accommodations. For presentation purposes I have designed three of these. One of the mobile structures would contain two large hotel style rooms with private baths and two large private decks. This structure is also equipped with a large communal deck on the roof that is shaded with a series of solar panels that make electricity from the sun to power the structure. Another solar panel mounted onto the front of the structure is used to heat water for the guests. All of these amenities are designed to be easily disassembled and/or folded into a compact, transportable trailer, towed by a truck.
The second mobile structure I have designed folds out into a small solar powered café/coffee shop, fitted with four large decks used for outdoor dining. It also contains a public restroom, kitchen, and solar heated water facilities. The third mobile amenity takes the form of a large gathering place shade structure, used by the guests for many different kinds of public and/or private events. This structure also folds into a compact trailer for travel.
All of the other amenities needed to establish a high-end, small scale; luxury hotel or resort would be designed in the same way as the first three mobile structures. The number of mobile structures can be increased or decreased depending on site-specific requirements.
