Highlights
Attractive, comfortable and pleasant accommodation concept for festival visitors.
Compliant with the required safety and regulation standards for festivals.
Mobile, modular and stackable system, thereby delivering a unique user experience.
Key challenge
Imagining and designing the honeycomb hotel
The design project kicked off by interviewing focus groups of festival visitors. Superellipse then translated their expectations, needs and wishes into accommodation concepts.
After consulting a vast number of stakeholders, including those responsible for safety regulation, we were able to work out an attractive accommodation concept that was both pleasant and compliant with the required safety and regulation standards for festivals.
