SOUTH+ was commissioned to design Cabins Sleeping, a fast-growing micro hotel brand in the center of Athens, transforming an underutilized property into a model of small-scale urban hospitality.
Inspired by the logic of ship cabins, the design emphasizes spatial compression, clean geometry, and mid-century aesthetics. Its contactless operation informed design choices that enhance hygiene, efficiency, and a sense of safety.
Beyond architecture, the project responds to urban pressures, helping to restore residential balance by reducing the impact on long-term housing. Through sustainable thinking, a hybrid hospitality model, and a socially conscious strategy, Cabins Sleeping introduces a new architectural language for inclusive, future-oriented city stays.
