DESCRIPTION
In a materials and methods class I designed a hotel room based on the concept of screens and origami. With this design I show how a hotel room can maximize the square footage by transforming its use by pushing and pulling different components from the walls.TRANSCRIPT

The origami inspired screen and moveable walls I designed for the Hilton Hotel room, located on the campus of University of Houston, has characteristics that will divide the space, conceal people or ob-jects, have multiple functions and be interactive with the user.

The current hotel room is designed as a static space; therefore, I decided to explore the idea of creating a space for a hotel room at the Hilton Hotel with the concept of origami. This idea allows for a more diverse space that will fold and unfold from moveable screens and walls to create the de-sired space for the current activity being used. Also the concept allows the floor plan to have maxium square footage use for each activity.

Functions that are housed in the wall are concealed storage for the electronic devices and gaming systems, additional storage for extra blanket and pillows, a light source for the entertainment side of the room, and a television screen that rotates to be viewed from either side of the wall. The entertainment wall moves on tracks to divide the sleeping space from the entertainment space when the users would like to use both spaces simultaneously.

Storage/ Mini BarDivides, Conceals, Multifunction and Interactive
This space is made up of three different pieces; the mini bar countertop, a moveable storage container, and four removable screen panels that turn into the furniture for the room. By moving the panels and storage unit on the track system this creates the two different spaces for dining and changing.

In order to free the space of furniture that isn’t needed at all times, the screens used to divide and conceal the space for changing can be taken off their tracks and turn into a bench, a desk, or a table.

Functions in the wall system for the sleeping space are single or double bed arrangements accompanied by a nightstand that consists of a lamp and draw housed in the bed connection. There are 256 different bed arrangements to accommodate every situation the hotel may come across to meet the needs of their customers sleeping needs.
