Hotel Room Golf Driving Range Balcony Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional hotels require guests to leave their private quarters to access outdoor amenities like golf driving ranges, limiting convenience and increasing the likelihood of guests spending less time on property, thus reducing potential revenue from additional services.
Innovation Solution
Providing private hotel rooms with direct access to a golf driving range through an open-air hitting area accessible only from the room, equipped with sound-dampening barriers, retractable shades, and automated ball delivery systems, allowing guests to practice golf without leaving their accommodations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If guests leave their private rooms to access golf driving ranges, then they can use golf facilities, but they spend less time on property and reduce potential revenue from additional services
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the golf driving range facility with the guest room by providing a private balcony attached to each room that serves as an exclusive hitting area. This merging eliminates the need for guests to leave their rooms to access golf facilities, thereby maintaining convenience while increasing time spent on property and potential spending on additional services.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If sound-dampening barriers are installed between guest rooms and hitting areas, then noise interference is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies sound-dampening properties specifically to the barrier portions adjacent to guest rooms, such as using sound-absorbing materials on the interior side of balcony railings or walls. This localized application of sound-dampening quality effectively reduces noise transmission to sleeping areas while avoiding the need for complex structures throughout the entire hitting area.
3Ease of operation
If automated ball delivery systems are implemented, then convenience for guests is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service ball delivery system where golf balls are automatically delivered to the guest's private balcony through a mechanical delivery mechanism. The system operates autonomously, allowing guests to receive balls without staff intervention, thereby improving convenience while the automation handles the complexity of the delivery process.
