Gary Chang

There are many things in this world that make my metophorical [and occasionally actual] jaw drop, but very rarely is it something of such simplicity as this. Gary Chang is and architect from Hon Kong who has turned his 32 square meter apartment into 24 quite spacious rooms. He has done it in the simplest but, perhaps, least obvious way possible – the rooms can change size and even existance. A simple series of sliding walls allow him to swap which room he’s in, with 24 possible combinations. The Library at Huddersfield Uni [and I’m sure hundreds of others nation and probably worldwide] utilise sliding walls to increse book storage space, but I’d never even thought to use them for something like this. If you ask me, grand designs are looking the wrong way, and should focus more on this sort of thing – turning a small space into the biggest house you can with the money you’ve got.
