Magical Urbanism, a website about urbanization, design and social change, is maintained by Mike Ernst. I'm an urban planner and designer based in New York City. I graduated from the The Amazing Transforming 344 sq. ft. Apartment
In Hong Kong, apartments are small and expensive. Gary Chang, an architect, decided to fit his 344 sq. ft. apartment with sliding panels and walls to be able to change into 24 different designs. He calls his apartment the “Domestic Transformer.”
Chang has renovated the flat four times, converting the $45,000 property into luxury home worth $1.3 million. The architect hopes that his book titled “My 32m2 Apartment: A 30-Year Transformation” will influence new housing and offer a new vision for better usage of limited spaces.
Be sure to contrast this take on density to the one provided by Michael Wolf.
