NEWS ANTHROPODS CONTINUES TO INNOVATE In response to customer requests, Anthropods, the North Yorkshire designer and manufacturer of upmarket glamping and micro-dwelling accommodation, is launching a new model.
The Anthropod Janus, is based on the popular Bleriot Plus model and features entrances at either end of the pod. It has been designed to provide private, secure living and sleeping accommodation for two persons with a shared wet room and kitchen. Additional space has been created by widening the pod at either side and enclosing the entrance porch area. In addition, extra side windows have been created to provide more light and maximise views. The Janus can be utilised as additional hotel space or as staff accommodation; the Janus does not sacrifice the luxury and quality finish of the traditional Bleriot models and features a totally sustainable structure and interior employing certificated materials. The first of the Janus models is destined for an island estate on the West Coast of Scotland.
