The design concept of Capsule by Container Hotel is inspired by
a shipping container, for its modularity, flexibility, and adaptability.
It is also closely binds with the theme of traveling and our belief
that container concept can be a potential solution to a
sustainable future.
The spatial planning concept is influenced by Japanese style
“Kyosho Jutaku”, which translates to living large on a tiny
footprint. By maximizing the use of each space, we managed to fit
in 79 capsules in a tight lot of 3300sqft and other essential facilities
for the hotel.
Spatial transparency is emphasized to create continuity in a
compact space. The vibrant color scheme selected paired with an
industrial approach strikes a balance of cheerful yet cozy
environment for relaxation in contrast to the formal and stringent
greetings from the airport.
