As climate change continues to threaten the planet, designers all over the world are beginning to address this fact -- with 'TAK Architects'' recycled hotel in Vietnam being a unique example of this.
The 'Ccasa Hotel' is located in Vietnam and is made up of three stacked shipping containers that function as rooms in the hotel. The recycled hotel was intended for backpackers more so than long-staying tourists and it provides a multitude of features that promote interactions much like hostels do. The hotel has one shipping container reserved for sleeping, one for washing and one for spending spare time. The space also interacts with its surrounding nature.
This unique recycled hotel sets a precedent for others to follow the sustainable and interactive design it offers.
