DESIGN CONCEPT
YOTEL was inspired by a visit to a Japanese capsule hotel by the founder of YO! Sushi, Simon Woodroffe in 1997. Working with Gerard Greene, they commissioned Priestman Goode to create the concept, with The Manser Practice architects taking the design & development to completion.
Yotel is a visionary concept for future hotels with the multi-functional requirements of the traveller in mind. From the businessperson to tourist, Yotel aims to offer customers a first class experience at affordable prices.
The cabin enclosure is designed as a 'panelised system' to be delivered to site in flat-pack form, and assembled in situ from pre-manufactured panels with integrated services. Individual cabins are structurall/acoustically isolated to minimise noise transmission and detailed for ease of on site assemble and maintenance.
