eeGee Stay Local Capsule Hotel
eeGee Stay Local Capsule Hotel
In Japan, both old buildings standing vacant and the economic decline of local shopping arcades have become major social problems. This capsule hotel was designed to address both issues while embracing sustainable, socially responsible design principles. Rather than building from the ground up, the hotel was constructed in an existing vacant building in order to better utilize resources. The design is deliberately minimalist in order to encourage visitors to patronize local shops, ultimately reviving the local economy and preserving the shopping arcade.
