A 'Snuggle'-ly way to stay

Contemporary German architectural group Raumlaboberlin have designed their own dream mobile hotel for festivals, workshops, symposiums or any other such events which require temporary lodgings. 

‘Snuggle’ consists of a number of modules each secured in a scaffolding area, with platforms for each mattress enclosed by willow meshwork and a waterproof textile coat.  Each room has a separate entrance that is individually closeable, with rooms connected to each other via a series of tunnels.  Open or closed coverings on each module can act as windows, entrance/exits, or tunnels to the next room. 

I love the concept that these dinky little pods are able to adapt to where-ever their surroundings may be, winding in and out of trees or pathways to create a novel and flexible design each time.  For me, this flexibility is one of the main advantages of the design, extendable in terms of size, number of rooms needed, and enabling the accommodation to be removed and rebuilt elsewhere.  The recycling and sustainable element added here is very fitting with the organic feel and ‘at one with nature’ theme.  ‘Snuggle’ provides a unique alternative to a tent, with I can imagine, great views to match.
