Apartments are small and expensive in Hong Kong, so architect Gary Chang designed his 344 square foot unit to change into 24 different designs, just by sliding walls and panels around. He calls it the “Domestic Transformer.”

Pretty sick.

[6insomnia9]

I want..

[TOS'd]

pretty neat, i wouldnt mind that, but it would have to be a bit bigger.

[MelonBoy]

Thats dope.. pretty awesome if you were living alone.. but it would be a bitch living with someone else :P

[Kim Jong Un]

wow that's one beautiful apartment

[Grim]

wow. good design,
im taking interior design atm, well done!!

[gilly]

that yellow tinted window is stupid.

[gilly]

Thats dope.. pretty awesome if you were living alone.. but it would be a bitch living with someone else :P

yeah. cant live with more than one person. if one person wants to watch tv, and the other wants to cook something in kitchen or go to bed, its gg.

[The_AK]

i wonder how loud it is for neighbors when he moves those walls around, also, how would one make breakfast for a lady when he has a girl over. This can be very nice for someone living alone but probably impossible for more than one person. What would one person do while the other is taking a bath?

[E-40six]

thats a great idea for maximizing space, but moving walls constantly could get old fast.
especially when you have the runs, you gotta move the walls to find a toilet, or a tub or sink.

[Mizter]

That's pretty BA. I'd live in one of those

[Death2Theft]

This guy needs to get hired in NY.

[JSALES]

that's pretty crazy

[JSALES]

aren't there some small apartments like these downtown? i remember seeing it on the news i think were the apartment could only fit like a small size bed and they had to make it look roomy

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

holly shit thats insane! but with that being said...i think i still prefer sth more roomier lol

[FI-Z33]

this is so awesome, i wonder how long it took him to make that

[Culture_Vulture]

My ideal bachelor home. Or I wouldn't mind living with my girlfriend in one of these. This guy has some great potential to design some state of the art housings in some of the biggest cities in the world.

My only question is why in the hell would he put the kitchen behind the TV. Now that's just dumb.

[elwell]

yeah. cant live with more than one person. if one person wants to watch tv, and the other wants to cook something in kitchen or go to bed, its gg.

That's true, and if someone needs to take a bath, others can't cook, watch tv, nor sleep

[.Renn.Sport]

Thats already too big for the poor ppl in hk....
they live in these kind of shit hole

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_imyI1lUU

my maid have a bigger room than that!

[The_AK]

^
LOL @ Pensonic music player, your apartment is so small Hyde

[ToyotaPowah]

That's awesome!

[- kT]

video mentioned that the apartment was where him and his family used to live, but i think he does live there alone now
pretty awesome, would be a pain when you have to use the washroom real bad, or if you come home drunk one night or something, but brilliant and innovative nonetheless

[Ronin]

That's awesome! What a great use of space. That room is about the size of my apartment in Tokyo. Actually, my place might be a little bigger...I would've loved to have all that in that shoebox.

[moomooCow]

The main point of that design is not to be comparable to our standards of living here in Vancouver, where we're used to bigger spaces. For those that say I'd rather live in my current house or whatever, well, no shit.... but it's amazing what he has achieved in an otherwise TINY ASS APARTMENT. 330 sqft!

[thumper]

just curious but how much does 330 sqft cost in HK?

[Gt-R R34]

just curious but how much does 330 sqft cost in HK?

depends where in HKG.

Ranges from CDN 500-1500 per square feet (roughly)

[ak6]

pretty sweet. I wonder how much it cost him to rebuild his space like that

[Death2Theft]

On a fitted track with padding in between the contact points of each wall it would be as loud it should be very quiet. Only reason things make noise when they move around is because of friction. If you look at the actual floor plan there is a area that doesn't have moving walls. So yes you can take a shower or take a dump while someone else is using the kitchen.

[Death2Theft]

Because he has a projection screen? Or simply put he could move his dinner to the tv room after he's done cooking? Or maybe for the simple fact that you can move electrical cables easily but you can't move plumbing around which is why all the rooms that use water are on the outside wall with fixed piping? :gay:


My only question is why in the hell would he put the kitchen behind the TV. Now that's just dumb.

[Death2Theft]

There is a fixed toilet/shower and sink.

[hk20000]

If it's those really old buildings like the one he lives in it's worth almost nothing because of the recent building collapsing incident...

yeah but you'd still have to flip up the wall to use it, versus flinging open the door and getting your ass on the toilet

[twitchyzero]

the video didn't show where the toilet bowl was
either way...it'll stink the entire unit up after coming home from thai food

[you!]

yeh that wouldnt work if u were to live with someone else:S

[Death2Theft]

I dont see any doors or walls to flip you need to get your eyes checked.

he an architech.. so im pretty sure he can get the stuff at cost or even cheaper..


My only question is why in the hell would he put the kitchen behind the TV. Now that's just dumb.
after he dones cooking he can collaspe the kitchen and eat on his bed? if he closed the bed, theres a fold out bench seat... so it nice.. i love it...

[Kaiten]

cool.

I expected something totally different.

[TheKingdom2000]

i wonder how much that would cost to make?

i don't think this would work very well in a bigger place? unless each room has it's own transformer thingy
