Tiny house transforms man’s life

Share

Jay Shafer

Ten years ago, Jay Shafer downsized to an 89-square-foot house and reinvented both his lifestyle and career in the process.

If you follow green building and architecture, you’re probably aware that size does indeed matter.
Meet Gary Chang, a Hong Kong architect who transformed his pint-sized living space — a cramped 330-square foot apartment typical for densely populated Hong Kong — into a super-efficient, 24-room bachelor pad with the help of an ingenious system of sliding walls, panels, and gizmos.
Chang’s apartment — dubbed “The Domestic Transformer” — truly has to be seen to be believed so check out the below video from World’s Greenest Homes. The New York Times also profiled Chang and his amazing mini-mansion. Would you able to live in this kind of set-up? Or are actual rooms irreplaceable?
