With respect and appreciation for the historical significance of the original building, a truly surprising design has been created to preserve the brick arches and wooden truss ceilings. The rooms themselves float in white modular blocks within the old atrium. Discovering the building is a true adventure: aside from the restaurant and room/pod areas, Bunk features a secret staircase, a hidden library and a recording studio/radio station available for free to all guests. Creatives can apply to Bunk’s artist-in-residence program and get a free stay.
