Mini Pod | Hristina Hristova

Mini pods were created as a low-cost choice for starting or growing a hospitality business. They are designed to be positioned in nature, either in groups or as standalone hotel rooms. The panoramic window that lets guests see the ever-changing surroundings is the focal point of the pod's design.

Only a bed area, a tiny kitchenette and a bathroom remain; everything else has been stripped down to the absolute minimum. The pod's unusual form is a result of its asymmetrical pitched roof. A metal platform with legs that may be adjusted in height supports Mini Pods.

They could be moved using a trailer with wheels, saving money on crane-lift costs. KVH wood studs serve as the structural framework for the pods. The tiny hospitality units have a tidy, ventilated facade that is oiled in anthracite grey for a blendfriendly appearance.

The whole interior is covered in birch plywood that has been mostly oiled in grey to highlight the sheets' natural grain. The pod's multipurpose wall has a tiny closet, a kitchenette and a sliding door that opens to a complete bathroom.

The Mini Pods are intended to be sufficient short-stay vacation flats for natural resorts or AirBnB hosts, despite their size of 11m2. Their straightforward, unadorned design lets the surrounding environment take centre stage.
