Crew Cabin Concept
This 3D model is a fictional concept for a deep space sleeping station. Sci-fi designs often neglect the constraints of modern space travel, while current spaceflight design leaves little room for creature comforts. I wanted to strike the balance between these two realms of design by creating a homey, livable, yet believable concept for a spaceship bedroom that would be inhabited on a long duration mission.
Considerations included privacy, airflow, habitable volume, stowage, aesthetics, lighting, customizability, and interfaces that would be ideal for zero gravity. The lights in these renderings are shown in both the “daytime” and “evening” modes.
This model was completed in Rhino 3D. Initial research was aided by RISD professor Michael Lye and NASA soft goods designer Molly Harwood.
