1:1 scale model

During this tutorial I decided I would model up a few rough elements of my pod design in order to obtain a sense of space for the dimensions I have assigned to the pod structures.

Pod Door

The pod door pivots on a hinge at the top of the front face to save space in front of the pod.

 Closed

 

 Halfway through opening

 

Completely open

Draw

The draw is located in the pod, sitting beneath the bed inside. It acts as a safety deposit box for guests and also stores the pods remote and amenities.

 

Lying position 

These images give a sense of scale for the guest while lying in the pod, the approximate dimensions are 2.5m in length with a 1.2m diameter. These images do not take into consideration the space inside the pod that the draw would take up, so the bed actually sits around 20cm up from where I am lying in these images. 

 

Sitting 

These images show  how the guest will be positioned when sitting in the pod, this will probably be the position that the guest will take when sitting in the pod either using the desk or watching TV.
