Capsule Tower

Nakagin Capsule Tower by Kisho Kurokawa, Tokio, 1972

Era nuestro apartamento en Tokio durante los próximos seis meses. Teniamos poco equipaje así que resultaba perfecto. Se llegaba a los ascensores a través de un portal con recepción y zona de espera. Estaba en la planta sexta. Tenía apenas 9 m2. En el interior el plástico blanco de las paredes contrastaba con la oscura moqueta y una luz gris que entraba por una ventana circular hacía que pareciera una nave espacial. Cuando llegamos solo había una radio sonando.

It was our apartment for our next six months in Tokyo . We had little luggage so it was perfect. To get to the elevators we had to walk trough a large reception and waiting area. We reached the sixth floor and went in the apartment number 65. He was only 9 sqm. In the inside, the white plastic walls made a great contrast with the dark carpeting. The gray coloured light coming through a circular window made it look like a spaceship. When we arrived the radio was on.
