Space Inn' Amsterdam offers two amazing rooms situated in a raw urban context of an old empty building. Spend the time lying in a giant hammock situated within a green lightscape and feel like Lucy in the sky with diamonds... Or witness the urban interpretation of sleeping in a sultry haystack.

Space Inn' is a design project imitating an extraordinary experimental hotel setting. The design principles for both rooms focus on using ecological materials. Room 1 is loaded with a small haystack with a two person bed on top. Along with the red lights this sets a sultry atmosphere. Room 2 is the bigger of the two and shows a lightscape of green sparkling stars. Almost the entire space is filled with a giant special made jute hammock. Both inspiring rooms are suited for two persons and are made to be cosy and comfortable, feeling like a second skin.

Space Inn' is one of the projects in the exploration (con)temporary solutions for urban leftovers as a part of a series of strategies for flexible urbanism. In the future we hope to expand this initiative to a city-wide dynamic hotel grasshopping around temporary empty buildings in different transformation areas in Amsterdam.

Space Inn’ aims to encourage its guests to explore the beautiful surrounding antique Dutch neighbourhood. You will find lunchrooms, bakeries, coffeeshops, parks and bars around. Free wireless internet is available at Space Inn'.
