Prefab Hotels By Travelodge


Travelodge is apparently building a prefab hotel in London. The hotels can be constructed in as little as 12 weeks and removed when an event is finished.

Verbus, the company designing the hotels hopes that the next version of the hotels could come furnished before construction as well extending the uses to student and urban housing.
