Capsul Sleeping Units

Abstract

The present invention is a sleeping complex having small sleeping units stacked together. Each unit has a front door and a back door. The space between the two doors is divided into sleeping zone and reception and storage zones. Such sleeping units provide larger space feeling, even though the units are small. This large space feeling is achieved by making the units multi-zone and also having windows on the walls.
