Nautilus Pod
1. The Idea
Nautilus Pod, front entry version
The growing need of ship owners and operators/managers looking for increased overnight capacity while offering high quality sleep on a small space fueled the idea of a high comfort, compact sleeping unit which is perfectly adapted to the marine industry.
The Nautilus pod is a brand-new and one-of-a-kind product. It has been developed and precisely fitted to the demands and conditions of the maritime sector, and it offers a combination of features and benefits unequaled by any current sleeping unit.
This claim is founded on three key points:
• comfort and convenience for the sleeping guest
• pleasing and relaxing high-level design for the eye, to the touch and soul
• its excellent value at purchase, ease of transport and installation, low cost of ownership and long-term high-frequency use.
2. The Design
The Nautilus pod yacht-inspired design was designed and engineered to offer a vast range of installation and programming options.

With the ability of the side and top shape to be adapted to various needs it is ideal for medium and long-haul ships from various shipping locations, ferries, hospitals, airports, offices and other. It has the benefit of being a luxurious, well-eqippped compact single-bed cabin that can simply be converted to a double-bed capacity. The sleeping pod is a totally private, soundproof sleeping place, with your own TV, music, a mini-bar and dedicated storage. It may be used as a single pod for airport or similar use, or stackable for more compact installations, such as ships and capsule hotels. With the addition of a galley, living space, and washroom/showers, the Nautilus may simply be converted into a modular crew quarter community.
The pods will be offered with different options, from entertainment like TV and radio, a strong Wi-Fi connection, to comfort like your personal refrigerator and ambient lighting. The comfortable ergonomic mattress is offering a relaxing stay. An adjustable reading light will facilitate the bedtime reading. The Nautilus Pods will be offered in different colour schemes and variations depending on use and customer specification.
There are application variants possible when single cabins are needed to accomodate more people. A typical arrangements suitable for crew quarters with separate sleeping cabins: a side-entry pod variation enables two pods to be stacked in order to transform a single cabin into a two cabin, shared washroom setup.
