Two-story Earthships with Capsule Hotels

Capsule Hotel diagram

This proposal is defined by 5 Earthship two-story buildings supporting 2000 people each, at a cost of $3m each, where $1.5m is destined to the building infrastructure and the rest distributed between 2000 capsule hotels, with a budget of $750 each.

Each Earthship would have 10-13 sections, each of 8m wide, 20-30m deep, and 4m tall, and an upper story built on top of the Earthship used as lounge, with a kitchen and eatery, toilets, showers, and possibly other conveniences.

Each section would have three rows of capsule hotels on each side of the section, of 2.5m long, and 1.3m wide and tall, allowing for 75-90 capsules on each side, totalling on 150-180 capsules per section, requiring 11-13 sections per building.
