In a more in-depth look at the Future Hotel room from an earlier post, the LAVA Architects— the firm who designed the Beijing Water Cube and the Michael Schumacher tower—and the work organization branch of the Fraunhofer Institute—who brought you the MP3 standard— have released some additional images and information about their look into the future. This Future Hotel Room belongs to a set of “a Kubrick movie full of monoliths and monkeys,” according to Gizmodo. The design is not the only innovative element of the It’s not just looks, however that make this room unique, apparently the room has been designed to “investigate the interfaces between architecture, technology and the human body.” For example, using LED lighting, the designers argue that the would be able to reduce jet-lag on guests. The room also includes an active comfort bed (read “bed with fancy vibrating apparatus“), an intelligent mirror, and a personal spa area.
