Hong Kong architect Gary Chang developed a system of moving walls to conquer space constraints in his 330 square foot apartment. Nicknamed the “domestic transformer,” Chang can move from one room to the next by using an innovative system of mobile walls, folding beds and shelves, and an extreme attention to detail that literally uses every square inch of space. Called a “technological marvel,” this video provides a tour of Chang’s apartment and a taste of Hong Kong culture:

Need your own house and yard? Check out this 96 square foot house built by Jay Shafer in California. Shafer says that “excess in not luxury… it’s a liability.” With an emphasis on design innovations that maximize space efficiency, Shafer’s designs offer all the necessities in small homes that cost less and have a smaller environmental impact. As an added bonus, the home is mobile. His work raises an important question: How do you want to spend your resources?
