A few days ago, we shared Visiondivision’s Nature’s Choice – a series of vacation homes that attempt to blend into their unique site placement. The firm just shared their latest competition entry for a hotel room atop a cloud. Presented in a comic strip, the proposal delivers a temporary hotel room to accommodate visitors of the 2012 London Olympic games.
More about the hotel room after the break.
Since the guests of the room will only be able to stay one night each during the Olympic, the firm wanted to make that night unforgettable for the visitors. “Instead of spending money on expensive hotel services as classy materials and expensive furniture we thought we might put our money on more celestial values. The room became a bed, a toilet and a shower, all in an outdoor scenography consisting of a magic cloud with tame falcons,” explained the firm.
Upon visiting the hotel, a guest receives a remote control, a key, a falconer glove, some meat and a towel. There is also an optional warm coat available for the winter guests. The bed comes with insulated drapes and heating, too.
Visiondivision was specially invited by “Living Architecture” for their competition “A room for London”.

remind me never to come to this website again
Then don’t, why do we all have to know about it?
You’re right. Don’t you ever come here again! By the way, an open-minded proposal. Nice.
Is this a joke? Please tell me this did not make the competition’s shortlist?..
Nice to see some avant-garde on this site!
Excellent concept!!
Love it! an intelligent thought that leads to a really cool proposal!
The concept is great. The mixture of scenography and architecture should be used more often in our trade, especially with temporary structures like this one.
I’m sure Derrida would have been really happy to be on all these images…
I don’t get what you’re all on about? It’s Photoshopped clouds on a roof? This isn’t an avant-guarde proposal! Is everyone here on the payroll?
Very impressive, a wall-less hotel room, I believe that this would be more of a nature experience than a hotel experience (which London already has a lot of). Good work
fast food avant guarde maybe…
this is just amazing. thank you archdaily for publishing this and not just boxes or cool bubbles. this has a great idea behind it, great concept guys! all the best!
really cool! i love to see this kind of projects! keep it up vd and archdaily!
Just being different and quirky doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s a second-rate riff of better academic work. Get out of the lo-fi, anachronistic, different-is-better hipster mentality. In the end it just leaves you dressed poorly and smelling bad.
I like the poetics of the concept (a tent surrounded by rock concert effects) , but I doubt its practicality.
I really think that staying at that place would be a night to remember, and that is what the competition asked for.
If built it would be very dramatic and poetical.
Terrific comic by the way.
Magnificent! How can you not like this??
