La costruzione è, perlopiù, abbandonata. Alcune unità sono state ‘sigillate’ con teli di plastica, altre non hanno nemmeno la serratura. Entrando, le si trova spesso in un avanzato stato di degrado: pareti a pezzi, mensole rotte, muffa e umidità.

Signs of previous residents are present all around the capsules and corridors. In our capsule, the most evident marks are the strange wallpaper, a carpet covering some degraded spots in the original flooring, and the air-conditioning unit that had to pierce through a wall in order to be installed. At Kenzo-san’s office, nothing original remains except for the bathroom, and the entire space is filled with revivalist furniture; a neighbour two doors down has created a warehouse and lined the interior with metal shelves. Most capsules are generally used for functions other than living. The interior spaces gradually get larger towards the staircase, which is suitable for storing bicycles, boxes, shoes, garbage, etc.
