«The main design [feature] in the hotel is the smallest room, which only has five square metres and looks like a house,» explains Fukumoto in the movie via a translator, which was filmed at Inside Festival 2014. You can watch all the movies below. «We designed the dining area based on time zones by imaging somebody’s day in a hotel.»
Inside Festival took place at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from 1 to 3 October. «The main focus of the hotel is dining rather than accommodation,» Fukumoto claims. Each hut squeezes in a single bed, sofa and desk into the limited space, but larger, more traditional hotel rooms are also available, offering double beds and views out across the Cambodian capital. Award entries for next year’s festival are open from February 2015. We’ve been publishing interviews with all the category winners from this year’s event over the last few weeks. FHAMS also designed the hotel’s bar and restaurant, which is separated into distinct zones. Guests can choose to eat in a formal restaurant area, or more causal arrangements of sofas, chairs and booths.
