The rooms are 7 meters long and 4 high and have no angles or straight lines in the interior. There are only a number of protuberances in the perimeter so that the user gets coupled to eat, sleep or look at the space through the large windows, "because what is important is to float in freedom observing the outside".

360 degrees of freedom

As explained by Claramunt, the idea arose slightly more than a year ago, when it was started to speak of the tourist trips to space, because the architects office is very linked to the hotel business sector.

"The challenge of this new tourism - he assured - encouraged us to study how a spatial hotel should be and to give a new vision of I + D in the field of architecture".

To adapt the project to reality they contacted a US engineering group that works in spatial themes for learn about materials and spatial measures, since an important part is how the hotel is placed in the space and of and the material of which the capsules are manufactured.

Galactic Suite have been inspired in the nature and in the basic growths, and the grapes bunch idea arose after analysing some alive systems.

One of the main contributions of the design is that it is designed so that the man can live in 360 degrees at freedom and without the traditional concepts from top to bottom or right-left.

Capacity: 22 capsules

The study has models and models by computer of the hotel and the materials with which would be built, and they now seek a hotel consortium or trip agencies that could be interested in the idea to develop a  real size prototype. 

Besides, the bunches of capsules could be gradually added through common spaces for the users, and these would act as hotel reception, bar and restaurant. 

Xavier Claramunt explained that the placement of the hotel in the space would be performed from the ground with Challenger space shuttles, and by their present measures in each trip they would be able to carry three rooms, that would be adapted with a crane to the central nucleus, with capacity for 22 capsules. 

The study currently works on the dresses that the new spatial tourists would be able to use to manage to be able to remain static at the moment of developing certain functions, and the way to be get fixed through velcro or systems of similar adhesion, and they also study physical situations related to gravity or the absence of sound. 

Although in some countries there are already works related to man in space, the Spanish architects are convinced that this is the first global project of this type from the point of view of hotel and tourist. 

Although they do not yet have a specific client, they have the certainty that there are potential ones, and the designers are convinced that a need exists from the social point of view and that is likewise represents an opportunity from the commercial point of view. 

Besides Galactic Suite, the Equip Xavier Claramunt also works on other projects like the development of four shopping centers in Beijing and diverse hotels in China.  In Spain, the company, situated in Barcelona, writes projects for firms like Hospes, Chic&Basic, BMW, Faces (Ferran Adriá), Cosmic or Damm.
