Funny enough, that's an early photo of a renovated capsule in the Nakagin Capsule Tower which was completed in Tokyo a little over forty years ago by the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa.
It was one of the most striking designs in the Japanese Metabolism architectural movement which served to merge post-war Japanese culture, the upscaling of Japanese architecture to accommodate urban centralization, and nature. One of the prevailing ideas that would come out of Metabolism is that of the 'Capsule Hotel' which is still widely used in Japan today in the form of small, cheap, and efficient temporary living solutions.
These days it's almost completely disparaged because it simply wasn't meant to last long without the regular maintenance it's been neglected of. It's ironic as the architectural movement often involved the consideration of biological systems, including natural development and decay. Nobody's stepping forward to fully foot the big repair bill. In all likelihood the tower be torn down and used for apartments within the next five years.
