Taking Flight

Leo a daly

Taking Flight is a creative upcycling project that repurposes retired airplane fuselages to create unique hospitality environments, minimizing the need for new construction and raw materials. Originally designed for travel, the fuselages can be transported to remote locations, allowing adventurous travelers to experience luxury in places where conventional construction is impractical. With utilities integrated into the traditional cargo hold, Taking Flight offers a seamless plug-and-play approach, easily connecting to renewable energy sources and utilizing a large water reservoir to remain off-grid while reconnecting with nature. The internal structure of the airplane allows for a foundation system using simple helical piles, which significantly reduces the environmental impact compared to traditional foundations, granting eco-conscious travelers access to untouched natural environments like never before.
