Thinking big in a small place
With a land mass of 1,104 km2 and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Apartments are small and expensive. Architect Gary Chang decided to design a 32 m2 apartment to be able to change into 24 different rooms, all by just sliding panels and walls. He calls this the “Domestic Transformer.” I think his idea is pretty great. It reminds me of an old Disney classic, where Goofy, Mickey and Donald are traveling by camping-wagon.
The key idea is that everyone could look into their home more carefully and into how better to optimise their resources, because space is a resource. There is no use making your home as if it is a perfect show flat but at the same time never using the space.
