Imagine yourself in an unfamiliar city or in an airport or in any other public place far away from home. Especially when you have 4 or 5 "awkward" transit hours or connecting flight timing, delays, or even cancellations. There is no opportunity for you to rest and relax, even if you are extremely tired. you can have a snack or drink virtually anywhere, but there is simply nowhere to sleep. Sleeping in public causes security, privacy and hygiene issues.
This type of Sleepbox is designed by Russian Architecture firm Arch Group for use in hostels, Airports, or even in offices. It provides a minimum of functions, and is equipped only with
electrical outlets and lighting. Flexible ducts are connected to a
general ventilation system. Case is made of laminated moisture-resistant
MDF, which finishes a frame of wooden beams. Sleepbox for hostels has a
bunk bed. The concept of the hostel is as follows: large interior
without walls filled with sleepboxes instead of building separate
facilities-rooms. This allows economizing on construction and finishing
works and significantly reducing the time spent on construction. In
addition it will allow very efficient use of available space and, if
necessary, quickly change the plan. This solution also allows increasing
the number of seats smoothly and without causing any inconvenience to
guests.
The first Sleepbox is now available at the Aeroexpress terminal of
Moscow's, Sheremetyevo International Airport, with more units planned
for other cities/airports. Each unit is available in 30 minutes to
several hour increments, with a discounted price with more hours
purchased. Available features include:
