If the escape pods from an offshore oilrig can help the crew
escape a dire situation, surely they could provide a good night’s sleep
to a weary traveller?
While trying to find a boat to live and work in, Dutch architect and
reclaimed materials artist Denis Oudendjk, discovered some unused pods
selling for a reasonable price.
His experience was so pleasant that he purchased a few more, decked
out the insides to make them even more comfortable and opened up Capsule
Hotel in the Netherlands. For around AU$80 a night you can have your
own private escape from the world, equipped with a hammock and fishing
net.
