How can night trains be designed for the future to make train travel attractive to the public again?

A three-person team has developed a conceptual work with the main focus on the social system within the wagon. The aim is to create a combination of a personal refuge with the highest possible level of privacy and the opportunity to socialize freely.

The aim of the concept is to break up the compartment structure and comprehensively change the conventional design in order to provide passengers with opportunities for free development and creative use of the available space. The basis for this concept is a multifunctional sleeping box that combines sleeping, lying and sitting. Angled corridors and half-levels create niches as new compartments in which travelers can relax.
