00 / Architectural Concept
TRAVELNA is an innovative architectural design concept merging the subscription model of services like Netflix with Airbnb’s global accommodation network, tailored for solo travelers frequently moving across major cities worldwide.
The strategy was to create a building recipe that could optimize five (5) key performance indicators.
1. Unit Efficiency Ratio.
2. Flexibility & Modularity Index.
3. Circulation Efficienty.
4. Daylight Access Ratio.
5. Energy Performance Indicator.
