THE SPACE HOTEL

THE SPACE HOTEL

The Space Hotel is a hotel design that seeks to engage one into realising the inter-relationship between self, nature and technology. The starting point of the project was the surge in interest in the space tourism industry with key players like Space Perspective and Virgin Galactic moving towards commercial space tourism sector. While the experience is undoubtedly expected to be once in a lifetime, the carbon emmisions from this industry is immense. The Space Hotel rethinks the idea of space travel, but on our magnificient planet Earth.

UNTOUCHED PURITY

UNTOUCHED PURITY

It was my first snowfall. I was mesmerized as the wind swept the snowas it was gently falling, creating patterns on the ground. So pure and mystical, these patterns were untainted by human touch. I decided to translate this texture onto wood, a humble material. I used Poplar wood, which is ivory in tone, reminiscent of the snow, with darker streaks running through the heartwood.
