Smaller pieces. Easier access.
Detachable bays and removable panels make the delivery route part of the design. Joints, flanges and the first hallway turn all count.
P2 · modular furniture
A pair of personal bays that come together for rest. A separate rotating-canopy study explores a more private sleeping space, built in sections that can reach the room.
Two furniture concepts · paired bays and canopy bed
Paired P1-derived bays · illustrative couch pose
Build around the room
P2 starts with two P1-derived personal bays. Couple them for a wider resting space, and keep each module serviceable and independently usable.
Detachable bays and removable panels make the delivery route part of the design. Joints, flanges and the first hallway turn all count.
Each bay keeps its own support geometry. Coupling creates a shared furniture arrangement without pretending the two outside widths are clear mattress width.
The transverse couch alternative starts around 30 in deep in couch mode, then expands for sleep. Its final conversion geometry remains open.
Separate habitat canopy study
An outer canopy sweeps from the crown to underneath a recessed stationary shell. The sleeping deck stays in place, supported from beyond the moving bay.
No center legs in the canopy sweep. End pedestals, bracing and services stay axially outside the moving bay.
Three nominal 28 in axial sections form the 84 in middle. Quarter-circle sectors and detachable deck panels address transport.
Captured bogies, guarded tracks, detents, a brake and releases from both sides belong in the mechanism. The first rig is manually driven.
Illustrative 60 in stationary shell, about 56 in clear inner circle. The 48 × 84 in sleep rectangle belongs to this separate canopy proposal. Clearances and loads remain unqualified.

This page shows the current design direction. These are the development steps ahead, with the open engineering work kept visible.
The useful details
They are separate proposals. P2 begins with coupled P1-derived bays; the habitat canopy bed has its own circular section, independent frame and access mechanism.
No. Thirty inches describes an approximate outside module width. Shells, mechanisms and seams reduce the clear sleeping width; that dimension still needs to be established.
Its larger-radius moving shell rotates around a recessed stationary lower shell. The bed is supported beyond the ends of the moving bay, leaving the underside sweep clear.
The design uses short axial modules and quarter-circle sectors, but the full route must be checked with flanges, hand clearance and hallway turns. A nominal doorway width alone is insufficient.
This is ambient-pressure furniture. A pressure-capable enclosure would need a separately engineered closure, seat, locks and qualification.
