The Domestic Transformer

Gary Chang, an architect in Hong Kong, designed an ingenious solution for utilizing every inch of space in his 330 square foot apartment. He filled it with sliding walls and pull down furniture, letting him transform the living space into 24 distinct layouts. Slide away one wall, and there is a walk-in closet. Slide away another, and there is a bath tub. Pull down a panel, and there is a bed. For its extremely protean nature, he named it “The Domestic Transformer”.
