ArabiaWeather.com - The rainbow-shaped coffin hotel is located in Changsha, China. It was designed by the famous Russian company Remy Studio with the help of the Disaster Resilient Architecture Program of the International Federation of Architects.

And it is built using wooden curves with a layer of plastic that cleans itself instead of glass to give it a wonderful view that gives joy and comfort, and the light has been filtered to use natural sunlight throughout the day to reduce the need for electric lights.

This hotel uses renewable energy from solar energy cells and a rainwater harvesting system to provide guests with energy and water needs, and also uses wind energy, heat pumps, and means to store and convert energy.

The hotel was a surprise because it is supposed to be in harmony with the terrestrial and water environments as it is designed to float on the surface of the water to face floods and this hotel needs 14,000 square feet of curves in the form of seashells and cables distributed over the entire weight of the hotel which means that it is also earthquake resistant.
