The Pod by Formwerkz Architects Offers Trendy Communal Living

— August 31, 2013 — Art & Design
The Pod by Formwerkz Architects is Singapore's newest capsule hotel that offers comfort, convenience and modern living.

Located on Beach Road, close to the financial district as well as a popular shopping area, this hotel "looks to 'fill the gap' between budget hostels and conventional hotels," according to indesignlive. Featuring contemporary common living areas and privacy-focused rooms with 300-thread count sheets as well as personal lockers, The Pod by Formwerkz Architectz offers luxury to those who don't mind living in close quarters.
