Capsule Inn at an Airport.


I first saw capsule hotels during the Nogano Olympics in... 5th grade? A capsule hotels are sleeping pods, consisting mainly of a bed, a small TV, and sometimes a vending machine or a sink. capsule hotels are generally stack three pods high and are very very cozy.

A Capsule Inn or Sleep Box is a concept geared towards travelers that have long layovers in airports. We've all been there, 7 hour
layover till your next flight, you're exhausted and all you want to do is sleep comfortably till your next flight arrives. Unfortunately, all airport benches have armrests so you can't spread out. It's either sleep sitt
ing up or sleep on the ground... but what's this? A small box in the hotel you can sleep in comfortably for a few hours?!?!

  2. Who cleans these pods after each use? I like the idea, but I don't like the idea of using a pod that smells like B.O. or bad cologne.
