Hotel brand Trunk worked alongside design studio Tripster to create this boutique hotel in Tokyo, which takes cues from traditional Japanese aesthetics – but unusually boasts its own miniature nightclub.
Hidden away down a cobbled street in Tokyo's buzzing Kagurazaka neighbourhood, Trunk House has been created by the hotel's in-house design team and locally based studio Tripster to have a residential feel.
"The idea for Trunk House was inspired by the salons found in Tokyo in the past, where artists and creatives would congregate – spaces where people would share ideas and exchange thoughts, where culture could be fostered," Hiroe Tanaka, creative director of Trunk, told Dezeen.
"The interiors of Trunk House were informed by our understanding of Tokyo's cultural and architectural landscape: ever-changing, fluid, and a mixture of tradition and modernity," said Tanaka.
Trunk House is meant to offer a different guest experience to the brand's existing Trunk Hotel that opened in Shibuya in 2017.
