Robyn Griggs Lawrence thumbnail Space is precious in crowded Hong Kong, and apartments are small and expensive. Architect Gary Chang’s brilliant solution—a sliding-wall system that allows him to create 24 different “rooms” in his 330-square-foot apartment—is absolutely brilliant. 'The house transforms, and I am always here,' explains Chang. 'I don't move. The house moves for me.'

If you love small homes and small space solutions, this video is a must-see.
