When I mentioned a sleeping pipes like part of accommodation might not sound luxury but it is. DasPark Hotel turns concrete pipes into quite comfortable space for your next overnight stay. Almost like a camping a bit more elegant of course, the DasPark Hotel is a series of inconventional hotel room pipes located on a beautiful flora-filled backdrop just steps from the Danube River, Austria.

Design by Andreas Strauss, art college graduate designer. His approach is from a more practical angle. Strauss create a minimal hospitality unit series that made economic sense. He hit on the idea of taking sections of large concrete drainage pipes and fitting them out as individual sleeping space for passing travellers.

Each pipe is outfitted with a bed, lighting, and other furniture, with bathroom and restaurant facilities shared in a public space. And what’s more, DasParkHotel obtains sanitation and other hotel facilities from existing public infrastructure, allowing them to operate on a “pay as you wish” system in which guests pay only what they can afford or wish to contribute. Now that’s some great communal living.
