Yotel capsule hotel (Real World!)

[aramis]

a link on another board took me here where I found the plans for their modular units.

They immediately made me think "Traveller Stateroom" so I'm posting the link to the view page. Click on one of the three buttons below the tabs to see the specific module's plan.

Very cool! I know the Japanese have some places where your room is little more than a box big enough for you to lay down in.

Yep, the premium cabin is a Stateroom to a T

Looks like a lower-end cruise ship stateroom, too. That's always been my model for Traveller staterooms. The shower/toilet doesn't fold away, though - so we need another TL or two.

What a shame the download to PDF link is not active.
I will have to draft these by hand now... I wanted to be lazy... lol

I believe the Yotel is in London!

Yep, it is in the South terminal at Gatwick Airport.

Yep, it is in the South terminal at Gatwick Airport.

Have you actually seen it? The room description lists something about the rooms stacking and having a window to a street-like corridor. I was wondering what that looks like.

Notice the use of glass and mirrors to make the spaces seem larger than they really are.
