02 Graduation project
Capsule Hotel
Nowadays, Hong Kong people such as students and working man always study or work overnight. However, there are many limits if they are study or work at home. For example, their family may feel annoyed with this behavior.
Therefore, I want to provide a suitable space to let them study or work comfortably.
Capsule hotel stem from Japan, is a type of hotel developed that features a large number of small "rooms" (capsules) intended to provide cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests.
In this project, I will improve the traditional capsule hotel to match up my target user needs.
