(Title)        Mobile Boutique Hotel (Year)        2023  (Area)        TBD (Type)        Hospitality (Location)        TBD (Firm)        KAL (Role)        Principal Architect & Project Lead



The innovative concept behind the mobile boutique hotel as proposed by the Clients was to create a fully mobile soft structure development that can be relocated to various locations determined by the seasons. The boutique hotel would offer a luxury experience for its users, with options for a multitude of  layout arrangements producing a large variety of room and occupant capacity options.   







The variety of pods have been designs to attach to one another in a perfect Lego-like capacity, ensuring any variations of 1- 2- 3- bedrooms (or more) would apply. The primary interior pods are functionally accompanied by a second skin Corten-steel application that is operable, allowing for users to utilize their indoor spaces with a fully open 360 view of the surrounding nature, or to enclose it for privacy or to protect from excessive heat-gain. 







High-Performance Environmental Strategies
- Second Skin envelope for protections from excessive heat-gain with operable options for 360 views
- Sunken seating areas with shade elements 
- A porous arrangement of pods and multiple walls openings to ensure consistent cross-ventilation when needed
- Indigenous plants and plunge pools to cool surrounding air temperatures
- High efficiency glazing 
- High-insulation wall components
