The Pod by Formwerkz Architects is Singapore's newest capsule hotel that offers comfort, convenience and modern living.
Following the usual capsule style hotel that originated in Japan, The Pod features cabin-like rooms that are designed to only fit a bed and are often stacked on top of one another like bunk beds - but with more privacy. Located on Beach Road, close to the financial district as well as a popular shopping area, this hotel "looks to 'fill the gap' between budget hostels and conventional hotels," according to indesignlive. Featuring contemporary common living areas and privacy-focused rooms with 300-thread count sheets as well as personal lockers, The Pod by Formwerkz Architectz offers luxury to those who don't mind living in close quarters.
