Trunk(House) is a new one-room hotel that occupies a former 70-year-old geisha training house in Tokyo

When Trunk(Hotel) opened two years ago, its contemporary design, buzzy ambiance and creative collaborations filled a much-needed gap in Tokyo’s hotel scene. Now, its entrepreneurial founder Yoshitaka Nojiri has opened Trunk(House), an entirely different kind of venture that is once again shaking things up in a city on a mission to open big hotels ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games.

两年前，特伦克酒店开业时，它的现代设计、令人头晕目眩的氛围和创造性的合作填补了东京酒店领域急需的空白。现在，它的创业型创始人野家康(Yoshitaka Nojiri)开设了一家与之完全不同的合资企业-东芝(T中继)，在2020年奥运会之前，这座城市再次掀起了一场旨在开设大型酒店的大酒店的风波。

Occupying a 70-year-old former training house for geisha, and comprising just one bedroom, the property is inspired by the concept of an exclusive ‘salon’ for modern creatives and unlike Trunk(Hotel)’s hipster setting in Shibuya, its new little sister is set in a maze of stone lanes lined with traditional wooden houses in Kagurazaka, an atmospheric neighbourhood dubbed ‘Little Kyoto in Tokyo’.

这家酒店有着70年历史的艺妓训练所，只有一间卧室，它的灵感来源于专为现代创意人士打造的“沙龙”概念。与特伦克(酒店)在Shibuya的嬉皮士背景不同，它的新妹妹坐落在Kagurazaka的一条迷宫般的石巷里，里面有传统的木屋。Kagurazaka是一个被称为“东京的小京都”的大气街区。

Outside, a pine tree – rather than signage – marks the entrance, while inside a modern riff on traditional Japanese house design – masterminded by in-house team Trunk Atelier and Tokyo-based studio Tripster – opens with an original stone genkan entrance, which leads to smooth grey mortar walls, terrazzo floors, wood panelled ceilings, and a decorative stained glass window.

在室外，一棵松树-而不是路标-标志着入口处，而里面则是传统日本住宅设计的现代山寨-这是由室内团队特莱克·阿泰尔(T中继Atelier)和东京的工作室Tripster策划的-开启了一个原始的石门入口，通向光滑的灰色灰泥墙、水磨石地板、木镶板天花板和一扇装饰性的彩色玻璃窗。

Brass lights by Nara-based New Light Pottery are suspended above marble kitchen counters and a long, solid oak dining table, while the living room is similarly clean-lined, with metal-framed leather sofas by Stephen Kenn and an angular Jean Prouvé Potence wall lamp.

奈良的新光陶器的黄铜灯悬挂在大理石厨房柜台和一张长长的、实心的橡木餐桌上，而客厅也同样是干净的，里面有斯蒂芬·肯恩(StephenKenn)的金属框架皮革沙发和一盏棱角分明的让·普鲁韦(Jean ProuvéPotence)墙灯。

Like traditional dwellings, the minimal bedroom is unadorned with a simple low white bed, but the bathroom is a scene-stealer: inspired by a sentō, a communal bathhouse, a hinoki cypress wood tub sits against a tiled background featuring whimsical paintings by ukiyo-e woodblock print artist Masumi Ishikawa.

和传统住宅一样，最小的卧室没有装饰一张简单的低矮的白色床，但浴室却是一个场景-偷盗者：灵感来自于一台送来的ō，一个公共浴室，一个西诺基柏木浴盆，靠的是一个平铺的背景，背景上印有日本木刻艺术家石川正美(Masumi Ishikawa)的异想天开的绘画。

Elsewhere, other highlights include a tatami mat tearoom with leather cushions, paper artwork by Chiaki Hirano, a George Nelson Cigar Lotus floor lamp and contemporary tea utensils by artist Tom Sachs.

在其他地方，其他亮点包括一个带有皮垫的纹身垫茶室、Chiaki Hirano的纸艺术品、乔治·纳尔逊雪茄莲花落地灯和艺术家汤姆·萨克斯的当代茶具。

But perhaps best of all? In a fun Trunk twist, it’s also home to ‘the world’s smallest disco’ – complete with glitter ball, karaoke, neon signage, an illuminated floor and a private bar. §

但也许最棒的是？在一个有趣的躯干扭转，它也是“世界上最小的迪斯科”的家-包括闪光的球，卡拉OK，霓虹灯标志，一个明亮的地板和一个私人酒吧。§
