SLEEPBOX hostel edition
Area: 3.75 m2
architects: Goryainov A., Krymov M.
Design: 2009

This type of Sleepbox is designed for use in hostels. It provides a minimum of functions, and is equipped only with electrical outlets and lighting. Flexible ducts are connected to a general ventilation system. Case is made of laminated moisture-resistant MDF, which finishes a frame of wooden beams. Sleepbox for hostels has a bunk bed. The concept of the hostel is as follows: large interior without walls filled with sleepboxes instead of building separate facilities-rooms. This allows economizing on construction and finishing works and significantly reducing the time spent on construction. In addition it will allow very efficient use of available space and, if necessary, quickly change the plan. This solution also allows increasing the number of seats smoothly and without causing any inconvenience to guests.

This sleepbox seems like the perfect solution to travelers needs. After spending the summer in hostels across America, sharing rooms with strangers every night, I would have loved the privacy of a box! Ergonomically designed the sleep box is all you need. They are designed for airports but I would be happy to stay in them whilst traveling. They contain everything you need. Brilliant design, minimalist, pure and simple. However I must say, how comfortable will that bed be? Sometimes minimalistic looks great but looks cold and unwelcoming, which is the last thing you need when your on your travels.

Overall great design and the company have created some other fantastic innovations available on their website.
