Galactic suite

A Barcelona-based architecture studio, Equip Claramunt, and a team of engineers from Florida have developed the prototype of a new space hotel for tourists and astronauts.

Each room of the Galactic Suite is hosted in a capsule. The rooms are 7 meter wide and 4 meters high, they have no angle nor straight lines. Whenever they'd want to eat, sleep or watch the space through the huge windows, guest would "stick" --using velcro or similar systems-- to some protuberances on the sides of the room.

Architect Xavier Claramunt explained that the hotel would be installed with the help of a space shuttle which would carry up to three rooms at a time. Up to 22 capsules in total would be affixed to the central nucleus.

So far only models and computer renderings have been created, the team is looking for investors.
