Project 3: Sleep Tight

General Brief:

Designing a resting box for airports, train stations, festivals, concerts and natural disaster camps.

The resting box is used by everyone and must include a universal toilet, single or double bed size, bedside locker, flat screen television, WiFi, a folded shelf for laptop and lighting system.

The look required is modern, with a pleasing aesthetic and sophisticated ambiance.

The logo must be attractive and incorporated in the design.

I took inspiration from my own experience as I love and enjoy travelling. Lately I was in South Africa for my vacation and slept on the bench at Johannesburg airport as my connection flight was delayed to Durban.

It is at this moment precisely I thought that something must be created for people’s flight delayed or canceled for having a rest as travelling can be exhausting and frustrating.

Watching the news daily, I felt sorry for American citizens when hurricane Irene hit the United States east coast in the end of August 2011. I thought that my resting box could be used for natural disaster camps.
