A company of architecture of Barcelona and a group of aircraft engineers of Florida (EUA) are developing a prototype of room of space hotel, baptized like Galactic Suite, so that the tourists and astronauts who are decided to travel to the space have a site where to lodge.

The hotel has aspect of cluster of grapes and a central nucleus similar to a satellite they leave the rooms in form of capsule and with a great large window to contemplate the outside, according to explained to Efe Xavier Claramunt, person in charge of Equip Claramunt, integrated by some thirty people who for a year have been working in the project.

Galactic Suite
has been inspired by the nature and the basic growth, and the idea of cluster of grapes arose after analyzing some alive systems.


The rooms have 7 meters in length by 4 of stop and in the interior, without angles nor air lines, single there are protuberances in the perimeter so that the user is reconciled them to eat, to sleep or to watch the space through the great large windows, “because the important thing is to float in freedom observing the outside”.

360 degrees of freedom

According to Claramunt explained, the idea arose something ago more of a year, when it began to speak of the tourist trips to the space, because the study of architects is very tie to the sector of hostelería.

“The challenge of this new tourism - it assured animated to us to study how it would have to be a space hotel and to give a new vision of I+D in the field of the architecture”.

In order to adapt the project to the reality they contacted with a group of engineers of EUA that work in space subjects to learn on materials and space measures, since an important part is how the hotel in the space and of what is placed make the capsules.

Galactic Suite has been inspired by the nature and the basic growth, and the idea of cluster of grapes arose after analyzing some alive systems.

One of the main contributions of the design is that it is devised so that the alive man in 360 degrees in freedom and without the traditional concepts of it arrives-down or right-left.

Capacity: 22 capsules


The study has scale models and models by computer of the hotel and the materials with which it would be constructed, and now look for that some hotel partnership or of travel agencies is interested in the idea to develop a prototype to real size.
In addition, the clusters of capsules could be adding through common spaces for the users, that they would act like reception of the hotel, bar and restaurant.


Xavier Claramunt explained that the positioning of the hotel in the space would take place from the Earth with space shuttles Challenger, and by his present measures in each trip they would be possible to be taken up to three rooms, that would be reconciled with a crane to the central nucleus, with capacity for 22 capsules.

In addition, the clusters of capsules could be adding through common spaces for the users, that they would act like reception of the hotel, bar and restaurant.

The study also works now in the suits that could use the new space tourists to manage to be static at the time of developing certain functions, and the way to pay attention through velcro or similar systems of adhesion, and also they study physical situations related to the gravity or the absence of sound.

Although in some countries already there are works related to the man in the space, the Spanish architects are convinced that this one is the first global project of this type from the hostelero and tourist point of view.

Although still they do not have a determined client, but the security of which are potentials, the designers are convinced that it exists a necessity from the social point of view and an opportunity from the commercial point of view.

In addition to Galactic Suite, the Equip Xavier Claramunt also works in other projects like the development of four commercial centers in Beijing and diverse hotels in China. In Spain, the company, been in Barcelona, writes up projects for companies like Hospes, Chic&Basic, BMW, Phases (Ferran Adriá), Cosmic or Damm.

Uma ideia engraçada, com uma componente formal inteligente (bolsas interiores) e formalmente interessante (crescimento orgânico_células independentes que se unem nas áreas comuns). Não é uma ideia descabida, pq com o início do turismo ao espaço, este parece-me o próximo passo lógico, sendo possível de construir com a tecnologia actual. O facto de este tipo de hotel ter uma clientela muito exclusiva irá, se calhar, ditar o seu sucesso económico, apesar de reduzir o número de pessoas a usufruir dele no futuro imediato. Vamos ver se arranjam patrocínios pra fazer a ideia descolar. Um passo em frente que poderá criar raízes no futuro da arquitectura e da engenharia.
