Nomads migrate between continents, just like travelers now day. The concept of "Sleep Nomad" is adopted from the way nomad lives, provides a comfort and temporary residence which fits in different rest requirements. "Sleep Nomad" is a resting rental system in airports. Travelers now can easily use mobile payment and QR code scanning with only an app, to rent a private, comfortable and a excellent sleeping experience in airports.​​​​​​​

We found that the majority of airport in the world lacks comfortable resting public facilities or more limited in the control area, often see the passengers sleep in uncomfortable seats or floor, Resulting in Landside visitors lack of intimate and comfortable services and facilities, increase travel fatigue.



Airports and Passengers Investigation

In order to gain a deeper understanding of airport facilities and passengers' rest requirement, we have visited the airports in different countries for more comprehensive investigation and analysis to find out the differences between airports in different scales and the influence of national culture.​​​​​​​
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport- 4 times
Taichung International Airport- 1 time
Hong Kong International Airport- 1 time
Kalibo International Airport- 1 time
Design Ethnography
Observation-   15 travelers information
Participate observation-   3  members information 
Shadowing-   2 travelers information



Design Research Triangulation & Design Thinking

The project took 5 months to conduct research and in-depth investigations, including the Design Ethnography, interviews and questionnaires. Our team also went to the International airport several times to experience and find out the potential problems about resting and sleeping in public spaces. we carry out the process of design thinking from a large amount of valuable data collected, such as Affinity Diagram, Competitor Analysis, Thematic Network, Persona and User journey, etc.
Thematic Network & Content-strategy

Rest at ease
Travellers must be alert at all times, and many factors may affect passengers' feelings and experiences.
The impact factors can be divided into four main points: property and personal safety, psychological barriers, personal privacy and fatigue.
Travel represents "feeling cultural differences and new knowledge", but this intention needs to be based on the underlying needs of "easy and less burden".

Comfortable experience
A relaxing and enjoyable trip is what every traveler pursues, expecting a break from rest and energy. Today's flight culture is based on convenience. The cost of a comfortable experience often costs a lot of money, so that most passengers put up with uncomfortable environment and product services, consuming more time and physical strength, and increasing the fatigue in travel.

Planned journey
Unexpected situations or inadequate preparations affect the itinerary, which is undesirable for travellers.
"Don't want to waste unnecessary time" and "improve the smoothness of the trip", passengers usually prepare a lot of preparations in advance, do everything possible to eliminate any factors that may affect the journey, and make corresponding decisions. Everyone expects every trip to be smooth, safety, and memorable for taking a break.
