In Hong Kong, most of the city's seven million people live in tiny, box-like apartments. Gary is one of these tiny "shoebox" home residents, but his place will blow you away.
This award-winning architect managed to take his mere 344-square-foot apartment and turn it into 24 different rooms in one. Yup. Using a series of sliding walls, Gary found a way to live in a multi-room home contained in one small apartment. His living room wall slides back to reveal a storage and changing area. Behind that wall, a fully-functioning bathroom. Behind that, a guest bedroom. The space offers natural light, privacy… even a stand-alone bar!
And if that's not incredible enough, I was shocked to learn Gary grew up in this very apartment — alongside his parents, three sisters, and a tenant. The space contained a few rooms, and living quarters were tight and uncomfortable. It's amazing that he stayed in his childhood home and put so much time — 30 years, in fact — and boundless creativity into its awesome transformation.
From the building exterior, passers-by can tell Gary's apartment is different from the rest; its yellow-tinted windows fill the space with a radiant glow.
