I discovered the Despark Hotel while searching for information on Historic Flophouse design and Japanese Capsule Hotels. These appear to be concrete sewage pipes converted into minimalist hotel rooms. An ingenious use of recycled materials but I'm not sure how secure I would feel sleeping in a giant cylandar with only a small portal for light when the door is closed.
Babel Fish Translation:
- Reopening
With the season opening on May those park hotel starts 4 as a new form of hospitality equipment in the public area already 2007 into its third season.
As offer to everyday life refugees, culture travelers, cyclists... or those the one little distance to the daily surrounding field and a new "inspirative" environment to individual horizon the extension search, would like to offer those park hotel with its on substantial reduced luxury, temporary, comfortable, uncomplicated at home.
All love and until soon.

This form of capsule design is ingenius! As always I am trying to solve the problem posed by individual and/or movable units: finding and paying for the land in which they would sit on. Using a park-like setting could be an answer to this. I wonder if Eugene, being as socially conscious as it is, would be willing to incorporate a solution such as this into its existing city park fabric. Or even better, is this something that we could incorporate into the Downtown Park Neighborhood schemes that get developed?
