Project Innovation

Each of the futuristic faceted pods, which appear to teeter on a tapered point, would be made from reinforced concrete panels.

According to the engineers the panels would be made from local materials and fabricated onsite, allowing the concept to be released in remote and geographically interesting locations.

Sites in Cape Verde, Norway, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Hungary and the UK are all currently under consideration, with the first locations due to be revealed in the summer of 2018.

Standing 19-metres tall, the individual Tetra Hotel pods would be laid out in different formations depending on the needs of the hotel and the site.

The pods are designed to be stable in groups of four, giving endless variety for their arrangement to reflect the architectural designs response to the unique natural forms of the chosen location.

The hotel suite pod's interiors would be laid out on multiple platform levels connected by stairs. A double bed would sit on the topmost platform underneath a large skylight, with a bathroom level beneath it.

On the third level there would be a space for a living area, and at the base an area with a desk. The connecting corridor cuts in to the lower half of the faceted shape.
