344 Square Foot Studio, 24 Rooms

Gary Chang, an architect, gives his tiny apartment 24 different configurations - a kitchen, library, laundry room, dressing room, lounge with hammock, wet bar and more – using shifting walls. In America, we have houses 3 or 4 times that size but only manage to have 5 maybe 6 different spaces. This article is quite timely as Americans as looking to downsize their gratuitous lifestyles. CNN reported a couple months ago a trend of people moving into smaller houses and just dealing with the lack of space by changing their habits. Chang's idea could not only take off in space starved HK (and even Tokyo) it could take off stateside as well. Check out more pictures of Chang's apartment.
