Architect Gary Chang’s apartment is located in downtown Hong Kong, and represents a remarkable example of interior refurbishment. With only 32 sqm, Chang studied the different distribution possibilities to optimize his space.
More information and images after the break.
Chang has been living in this apartment since he was 14 years old. After his parents move out, he tried a series of modifications:
After years of studying his apartment, Chang has finally achieved through moving walls and different systems, a 32 sqm apartment with 24 different designs.
very nice, smart, but a bit ‘too much’ (or too less). anyway, beautiful, warm design
Whoa, Whoa. This is architecture. Creativity and ingeniousness at good lengths. Congrats to Ar. Chang.
in hk, the book on this (lifetime) project is available for quite some time – worth a look at!
Hey ArchDaily,
Can you give us a enhanced image on his 24 different designs. Can’t see squat on that image, just pixels. Can you put a higher resolution on it?

Looks like an exercise in Combinatorics..
interesting to know if he applied any combinatorial technique.
I think all this has to be mechanised so that it’s not so tedious to use and that it’s a bit future proof as well. Not easy to push and pull those panels when you get old.
