1
00:00:10,594 --> 00:00:13,604
People in Hong Kong are used
toliving in small spaces.

2
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:18,557
But I have learned to adapt.

3
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:21,863
The city is always transforming.

4
00:00:23,106 --> 00:00:24,646
I am always transforming.

5
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:27,743
And so I have made my home

6
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:31,405
transform as well.

7
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:37,785
I call my home the Domestic Transformer.

8
00:00:38,163 --> 00:00:41,713
Officially, it is 344 square feet.

9
00:00:42,167 --> 00:00:42,997
But for me

10
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:44,920
it is infinite.

12
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:34,143
I always challengepeople's
conception of a home

13
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:37,135
because my home is not about

14
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:38,642
a collection of rooms.

15
00:01:41,185 --> 00:01:43,185
My home is organized around

16
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,060
little thingsthat you have to do every day

17
00:01:45,147 --> 00:01:47,067
and you treasure or enjoy,

18
00:01:47,149 --> 00:01:50,489
like makingcoffee in the so-called kitchen,

19
00:01:50,569 --> 00:01:53,239
even though it doesn't look quite
likea kitchen in the normal sense.

20
00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:58,987
One of the most unusual
featuresin my home is

21
00:01:59,077 --> 00:02:01,827
the area of each amenity could vary

22
00:02:01,914 --> 00:02:04,544
depending on what I do, what I need.

23
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:09,630
A lot of places still define a
homeby how many rooms you've got.

24
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:14,220
If you are still stuck on this
definition, it's just really limiting.

25
00:02:16,011 --> 00:02:17,891
As long as you are in a city center,

26
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:19,721
from London, New York, or Hong Kong,

27
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:24,522
you're bound to realize that your
homeis getting smaller and smaller.

28
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:28,479
That's why I want to explorethe
positive effect of compact living.

29
00:02:50,295 --> 00:02:52,295
Every moment I'm using the entire space.

30
00:02:52,631 --> 00:02:55,341
I don't utilize just one room only.

31
00:02:56,343 --> 00:03:00,183
As a result my home feelsmuch
bigger than it should.

32
00:03:05,936 --> 00:03:08,896
Gary Chang isthe quintessential
Hong Kong architect.

33
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:12,031
Not in the sensethat his work is
typical, by any means...

34
00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:14,895
but more in terms of his story.

35
00:03:14,987 --> 00:03:18,367
He was born,
raised and trainedin Hong Kong,

36
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:21,659
and I think you see that in his work.

37
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:26,789
The fact that he was trained heregives
him a very special perspective

38
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:30,924
for designing, for really
nurturing his own imagination.

39
00:03:32,504 --> 00:03:34,594
Hong Kong has always been his lens.

40
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:38,681
As a city state,

41
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,220
Hong Kong certainly has one ofthe
highest urban densities in the world.

42
00:03:43,182 --> 00:03:48,152
The total population of Hong
Kong nowis 7.35 million people.

43
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:50,858
And it's a strange city to describe,

44
00:03:50,939 --> 00:03:55,239
because you get a great
feelingof overcrowdedness.

45
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:01,829
The entire city is a complex network

46
00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:04,492
that moves at a pace of its own.

47
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040
You can stand stilland let
the city move around you.

48
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:19,888
Because space is so tight in Hong Kong,
and because homes are generally so small,

49
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,098
the city becomes everyone's living room.

50
00:04:22,179 --> 00:04:26,139
And in some ways,
there's somethingwonderfully almost civic

51
00:04:26,225 --> 00:04:28,015
or democratic about that.

52
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,815
The public realmdoes become a shared space,

53
00:04:33,899 --> 00:04:37,239
and I think that contributes a
lotto the dynamism of Hong Kong.

54
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:41,661
The streets are always packed,

55
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:45,410
and yet somehow we all manageto
get along and make it work.

56
00:04:50,082 --> 00:04:53,632
Only 24% of Hong Kong
islandis actually built on.

57
00:04:54,169 --> 00:04:59,049
The places we live, the places we
workare all fitted into that 24%.

58
00:05:03,554 --> 00:05:06,434
You inhabitthe most unlikely spaces here

59
00:05:07,432 --> 00:05:10,142
because it is the only space you can go.

60
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:19,777
Gary is not a delirious architect.

61
00:05:19,862 --> 00:05:22,112
He is, in a way, the opposite.

62
00:05:22,197 --> 00:05:24,947
He appreciates delirium.

63
00:05:28,912 --> 00:05:32,122
He likes all the
madnessthat goes around him.

64
00:05:35,169 --> 00:05:38,629
And that gives him
energyto create his work.

65
00:05:46,597 --> 00:05:49,387
My office EDGEhas been around for 25 years.

66
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:58,072
My office is really a laboratory
for meand my colleagues to explore

67
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:01,570
the notion of flexible
homeand compact living.

68
00:06:03,405 --> 00:06:07,775
Gary is a very unique Hong Kong architect.

69
00:06:07,868 --> 00:06:12,868
And by that, I mean he has in
hima very pragmatic streak.

70
00:06:14,583 --> 00:06:18,753
Gary accepts a certain
framework, certain order:

71
00:06:18,837 --> 00:06:22,967
the urban density and order of Hong Kong.

72
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:26,220
And in working within this framework,

73
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:30,853
he does completely
imaginativeand dreaming things.

74
00:06:34,269 --> 00:06:37,859
To me, getting involved in
architectureis totally not accidental.

75
00:06:38,315 --> 00:06:42,145
I have been studying
architecturelong before school.

76
00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:45,610
My home molded me to become an architect.

77
00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:52,408
My family moved to this
apartment40 years ago,

78
00:06:53,247 --> 00:06:54,707
but it didn't look like this.

79
00:06:59,044 --> 00:07:00,634
It was the year 1976.

80
00:07:01,713 --> 00:07:02,553
We didn't own it.

81
00:07:03,382 --> 00:07:05,012
We rent the space only.

82
00:07:07,052 --> 00:07:09,222
There used to bea kitchen and bathroom here

83
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:11,104
and one, two, three bedrooms.

84
00:07:11,515 --> 00:07:12,845
The one for my young sisters,

85
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:15,444
my parents' room,

86
00:07:16,228 --> 00:07:17,768
and then we had the third room.

87
00:07:19,481 --> 00:07:21,361
My parents were rather poor

88
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:24,489
and striving very hard to earn money.

89
00:07:25,571 --> 00:07:28,621
And so the third bedroom in our apartment

90
00:07:28,699 --> 00:07:30,869
my parents sublet to an outsider.

91
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:33,950
All together it's seven
peoplein the same place.

92
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:37,544
So I don't have my own room.

93
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,544
My bed is actually in the living room.

94
00:07:41,253 --> 00:07:44,423
Every night, I had to
transforma six-foot long bench

95
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,630
into my temporary bed.

96
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:53,428
I had to wait for everyone elseto go to bed

97
00:07:54,683 --> 00:07:56,103
before I was able to.

98
00:07:57,811 --> 00:08:02,771
I definitely think not having a permanentbed
affected my way of life at the time.

99
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:05,784
I didn't want to complain,

100
00:08:05,861 --> 00:08:08,821
but my so-called room,
it doesn't entirely look like a bedroom

101
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:10,946
because it'sthe living room of the family.

102
00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:13,583
And I think this really changed me a lot

103
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:16,580
in how I perceive a space.

104
00:08:18,832 --> 00:08:23,092
A lot of my friends always
questionwhy I have this Murphy bed.

105
00:08:23,795 --> 00:08:28,085
Maybe because I have been
practicingmaking my bed since childhood

106
00:08:28,467 --> 00:08:30,137
this is no big deal.

107
00:08:34,139 --> 00:08:38,479
I have this memory, but I was very
youngat the time, so it's kind of blurry.

108
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:42,114
My father began working in Oregon

109
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:45,228
and then gradually spendingmost
of the time in Boston

110
00:08:45,317 --> 00:08:47,107
for, cumulatively, more than seven years.

111
00:08:51,907 --> 00:08:54,907
My family needed me to support them.

112
00:08:55,494 --> 00:08:59,124
So I sent them money backto
Hong Kong every month.

113
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:02,708
Around 700 U.S. dollars.

114
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,009
Plus 100 dollars for my parents.

115
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:13,850
So actually I didn't have much for my own.

116
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,429
Not having my father
aroundwas hard for all of us.

117
00:09:18,517 --> 00:09:21,057
It definitely changed the family dynamic.

118
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:23,976
My mother,

119
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,784
she had to behave both as a mother

120
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:28,399
and function also as a father.

121
00:09:30,529 --> 00:09:33,489
I still remember our childhoodas
pretty much focused on studying.

122
00:09:33,824 --> 00:09:36,544
As a result, we are extremely quiet

123
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:39,247
and obedient.

124
00:09:40,873 --> 00:09:42,963
We had very, very little time

125
00:09:43,876 --> 00:09:44,876
to play.

126
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:56,103
You remember when you're in
primary schoolor secondary school?

127
00:09:57,014 --> 00:10:01,694
It's always the same old question,
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

128
00:10:01,768 --> 00:10:05,188
I remember every time I said,
"I want to be an architect."

129
00:10:13,071 --> 00:10:14,571
Hey.

130
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:15,906
How have you been?

131
00:10:15,991 --> 00:10:17,531
Good. How are you? Good to see you.

132
00:10:17,618 --> 00:10:18,658
Still surviving?

133
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:20,414
Yeah. Yeah. It's all good.

134
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:24,709
Walking into Gary's apartment,
it's like walking into a toy.

135
00:10:25,626 --> 00:10:26,626
What's underneath?

136
00:10:27,336 --> 00:10:28,336
It's luggage.

137
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:31,007
And that has a lot to
dowith Gary's personality.

138
00:10:31,089 --> 00:10:33,629
There's such a childlike quality to him.

139
00:10:37,596 --> 00:10:39,966
This is one ofthe earliest
details I designed

140
00:10:40,057 --> 00:10:42,977
because I realized thatif
I don't have a nice handle

141
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:44,520
I don't want to pull the wall.

142
00:10:44,603 --> 00:10:47,193
So this is rather comfortable.

143
00:10:47,272 --> 00:10:49,442
-That's very---Be careful.

144
00:10:49,525 --> 00:10:50,775
Don't lean on the walls.

145
00:10:51,652 --> 00:10:53,532
You know Hong Kong is hotmost of the time

146
00:10:53,612 --> 00:10:55,702
so it's nice to touch metal surfaces.

147
00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:56,821
It's cool.

148
00:10:57,199 --> 00:10:59,409
Oh, by the way, this is the kitchen.

149
00:10:59,868 --> 00:11:03,248
And I deliberately put a
scalein front of the fridge

150
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:05,872
to warn myself not to open it too often.

151
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:08,126
Especially after going to bed.

152
00:11:09,545 --> 00:11:12,875
It's, in many ways,
almost designed for a spaceship.

153
00:11:13,382 --> 00:11:15,682
In a spaceship,
you have to be very compact.

154
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:18,299
Every square inch
countsand is accounted for,

155
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:20,507
and that's very much what Gary has done.

156
00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:22,809
So it becomes balcony space.

157
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:25,193
And also, the place is just so shiny.

158
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,190
See it in action now, finally.

159
00:11:28,564 --> 00:11:31,284
In a normal home, you movefrom
the living room to the bedroom.

160
00:11:31,942 --> 00:11:33,902
For me, I don't have these terminologies.

161
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:37,069
The environment changes for
you, for different purposes.

162
00:11:37,155 --> 00:11:39,775
I think you've said that this
waythe rooms come to you,

163
00:11:39,867 --> 00:11:42,077
instead of you going to the rooms, right?

164
00:11:42,452 --> 00:11:44,502
Simply by reorganizing things

165
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:46,250
or your mind-set

166
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:47,711
the use is totally different

167
00:11:47,791 --> 00:11:50,291
and your spatial experienceis
totally different.

168
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:52,338
So how does this table work?

169
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,590
This works pretty muchlike
a Swiss Army knife.

170
00:11:56,466 --> 00:11:57,966
So you can swing out

171
00:11:59,011 --> 00:12:01,011
on a pivot.

172
00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:05,640
Here, I want to show you something.

173
00:12:10,564 --> 00:12:11,774
Oh, great.

174
00:12:12,608 --> 00:12:15,148
This is my home in miniature.

175
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:21,735
This shows the ten most significantscenarios
of limitless permutations.

176
00:12:22,618 --> 00:12:23,908
When you see the model,

177
00:12:23,994 --> 00:12:27,754
you get an even better senseof
how small the space actually is.

178
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:33,455
These days people explain
your homein terms of the area.

179
00:12:34,046 --> 00:12:36,046
To me, it's totally irrelevant because

180
00:12:36,131 --> 00:12:41,011
it's really about the
distancebetween the family

181
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:45,774
and between the furniture that
ismore important to realize.

182
00:12:49,728 --> 00:12:52,228
How many versions of the
apartmenthave you done here?

183
00:12:52,314 --> 00:12:54,274
Since the last 40 years? Five.

184
00:12:54,358 --> 00:12:55,358
Five in 40 years?

185
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:58,202
And this last modeas
the Domestic Transformer

186
00:12:58,278 --> 00:13:01,028
was pretty much, 10 years.

187
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,494
Since 2007.

188
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:13,293
My mother suggested to buy the
apartmentaround the year 1988,

189
00:13:13,377 --> 00:13:15,957
one year afterl graduated from university.

190
00:13:16,588 --> 00:13:21,838
Thirty years ago, this apartment
cost350,000 Hong Kong dollars.

191
00:13:22,594 --> 00:13:26,524
That means it should
bearound 40,000 U.S. dollars.

192
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,400
Since I graduatedfrom architecture school,

193
00:13:33,021 --> 00:13:37,651
I try to use my home as a labto
transform once every several years,

194
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,360
every time for a different concept.

195
00:13:41,572 --> 00:13:44,162
In one of the first
versionsof this apartment,

196
00:13:44,241 --> 00:13:45,871
he was quite young then,

197
00:13:45,951 --> 00:13:48,831
and he decided thathe
wants to put everything--

198
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:53,752
his books, his collection, his CDs,
all his junk on shelves along the wall,

199
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:58,134
and he had a white
curtainthat draws around them.

200
00:14:00,632 --> 00:14:04,472
Depending on which part you open,
Itransform my home for a different purpose.

201
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:07,682
I was influenced by Philippe Starck.

202
00:14:08,557 --> 00:14:12,187
First time I was there, I just
said, "Gary, this is a hospital."

203
00:14:12,269 --> 00:14:14,149
I don't think he was very pleased.

204
00:14:14,229 --> 00:14:18,439
But at the same time, I was,
in a way, joking with him.

205
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:21,320
It's not a hospital.

206
00:14:21,403 --> 00:14:24,413
It is one of the most
ethereal spacesl've ever been.

207
00:14:26,825 --> 00:14:31,535
In the very beginning,
he just simply negated everything.

208
00:14:33,332 --> 00:14:38,252
Making pure space by hiding
everythingin an orderly manner.

209
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:42,424
I think that becomes part of
the artthat he is pursuing.

210
00:14:44,968 --> 00:14:47,758
The last transformation is actually 2007.

211
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:51,057
I have a business trip to
Shanghaiand then when I'm back

212
00:14:52,643 --> 00:14:54,853
I saw water leaking outfrom the apartment.

213
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,150
The water is actually the sea water.

214
00:15:01,235 --> 00:15:04,605
We use the sea water as flushing water.

215
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,570
It's really nasty.

216
00:15:08,158 --> 00:15:10,038
The place was completely destroyed.

217
00:15:10,911 --> 00:15:14,041
I was so angry, but for a very short time.

218
00:15:14,122 --> 00:15:17,172
Because I started to
feelvery excited and inspired

219
00:15:17,251 --> 00:15:21,091
because this is such a good
excuseto redo my home again.

220
00:15:24,174 --> 00:15:26,644
I really took it seriously and spent

221
00:15:26,718 --> 00:15:30,178
an abnormally long period of
time, one year, doing changes.

222
00:15:34,101 --> 00:15:37,981
I had to start over and lookto
my surroundings to be inspired.

223
00:15:39,565 --> 00:15:44,105
In Hong Kong, people are so
creativein using limited resources.

224
00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:48,525
That really inspired the ideaof
transformation and flexibility.

225
00:15:50,033 --> 00:15:54,293
Also, I was very much inspiredby
the building next door to my home.

226
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:58,634
They have a lot of
stallsinside the building

227
00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:01,588
that are always so narrow,

228
00:16:02,629 --> 00:16:04,009
less than three feet wide,

229
00:16:05,424 --> 00:16:07,554
but they haveso many kinds
of activities inside.

230
00:16:13,765 --> 00:16:15,345
They open it in the morning

231
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:17,644
and then put it back every day and night.

232
00:16:19,146 --> 00:16:20,356
It's a daily ritual.

233
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:22,069
That really inspired me.

234
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:34,240
I decided to make transformationthe
main idea behind my home.

235
00:16:37,164 --> 00:16:40,254
He's basically sort of realized the dream

236
00:16:40,334 --> 00:16:43,424
of the ultimate flexibilityand
adaptability of space.

237
00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:49,005
The apartment is small, about the
sizeof a typical American living room.

238
00:16:50,344 --> 00:16:56,064
But it's a very complex
designbased on very simple moves.

239
00:16:59,019 --> 00:17:01,149
Instead of me movingfrom
one room to the other,

240
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:03,272
I practically don't move.

241
00:17:04,733 --> 00:17:06,153
It depends on what I do.

242
00:17:06,234 --> 00:17:08,114
I transform the homefor
that particular purpose.

243
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:40,019
One of the most popular scenarios

244
00:17:40,102 --> 00:17:41,602
I have a home theater

245
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:44,567
for four to six friends.

246
00:17:51,154 --> 00:17:52,364
In another scenario

247
00:17:52,447 --> 00:17:54,367
I could pull these two walls out

248
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:55,699
and then reveal the bathtub.

249
00:17:57,953 --> 00:17:59,753
The entire space could be a spa.

250
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:05,127
The laundry spacecould
also expand and contract

251
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:07,130
depending on whetheryou
are using it or not.

252
00:18:09,965 --> 00:18:11,965
I want everything insidebigger than usual.

253
00:18:12,593 --> 00:18:15,893
So, I'm able to havea desk
which is seven feet long.

254
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,850
One of the main challengesof
living in this apartment is

255
00:18:23,353 --> 00:18:25,563
how to organize yourself around the home.

256
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:28,820
Something very significant about

257
00:18:28,901 --> 00:18:31,071
organizing a spacein a
very tight environment

258
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:32,203
is the bed.

259
00:18:32,529 --> 00:18:34,359
You can imagine if I have a permanent bed,

260
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:36,658
it would occupya significant
portion of the space.

261
00:18:37,659 --> 00:18:42,039
So, to me, the most important
thingis to let the bed disappear.

262
00:18:44,625 --> 00:18:47,625
There's no fixed configuration
becauseall the walls are moving.

263
00:18:48,504 --> 00:18:51,014
Mathematically, it's pretty much limitless.

264
00:18:52,341 --> 00:18:56,261
His home is this kind of
mood ringin some senses,

265
00:18:56,345 --> 00:19:00,175
because it changes with Gary's moodand
depending on what he feels like.

266
00:19:06,355 --> 00:19:08,185
All the walls that can move,

267
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:10,533
they are actually hung on the ceiling.

268
00:19:10,901 --> 00:19:12,611
It depends on the width of the wall.

269
00:19:13,445 --> 00:19:14,775
The minimum is two tracks,

270
00:19:15,322 --> 00:19:17,072
or in some places it's three

271
00:19:17,157 --> 00:19:20,117
for this big wallcontaining
3,000 compact discs.

272
00:19:21,495 --> 00:19:23,285
There are also wheels,

273
00:19:23,747 --> 00:19:26,667
but in the end I found outit
leaves marks on the floor so

274
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:29,750
I raised it so that now it's
entirelyhung on the ceiling.

275
00:19:31,505 --> 00:19:34,835
I wanted to make it functional,
as well as beautiful.

276
00:19:37,511 --> 00:19:40,061
Another very prominent feature of my home,

277
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:42,018
in terms of materials, is the mirror.

278
00:19:42,432 --> 00:19:44,142
My idea is not just for the reflection,

279
00:19:44,226 --> 00:19:45,686
it's a way to conceal the tracks.

280
00:19:46,353 --> 00:19:48,613
You can imagine ifit's
a normal white ceiling,

281
00:19:48,689 --> 00:19:49,979
it would be extremely busy.

282
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:53,073
The floor is actually made of

283
00:19:53,151 --> 00:19:54,321
over seven-foot long

284
00:19:54,403 --> 00:19:56,613
granite slabs, which are polished.

285
00:19:56,697 --> 00:19:59,117
So that it givesanother
dimension to the space.

286
00:20:00,951 --> 00:20:03,751
Material-wise,
it's predominantly dominated by metals.

287
00:20:04,997 --> 00:20:07,707
I picked the metalmore
because of this durability,

288
00:20:07,791 --> 00:20:12,591
but when the sun hits my apartment,
it gives a very warm glow.

289
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:17,089
The metal could become
suddenlyso cozy and intimate.

290
00:20:25,642 --> 00:20:29,612
One important consideration,
if yourcompact home has too much furniture,

291
00:20:29,688 --> 00:20:31,268
it will definitely look messy.

292
00:20:33,442 --> 00:20:37,532
So my way of organizing things
isl try to make it monotone

293
00:20:37,613 --> 00:20:40,823
so that you almost don't
differentiatewhich part is the furniture

294
00:20:40,908 --> 00:20:43,538
and which partsare
elements of construction.

295
00:20:43,619 --> 00:20:45,949
The walls, floor,
and ceilings--they all look alike.

296
00:20:48,081 --> 00:20:51,671
I try to explore the ideaof
multipurpose furniture as well.

297
00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:54,883
A small table can be a chair.

298
00:20:55,589 --> 00:20:57,129
Several chairs can be a bench.

299
00:20:58,383 --> 00:21:02,143
Ultimately, you have to look
beyondtraditional definitions.

300
00:21:04,306 --> 00:21:09,266
During the parties, we need some spacefor
a private moment, like making a call.

301
00:21:10,187 --> 00:21:12,977
So, at that time,
my shower willbecome the telephone booth.

302
00:21:30,707 --> 00:21:34,797
Did the transformer apartmentget
you any new clients,

303
00:21:34,878 --> 00:21:35,918
doing any new stuff?

304
00:21:37,047 --> 00:21:41,177
There's a big developer in Hong
Kongwho invited us to do research--

305
00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:42,260
-Careful.-Thanks.

306
00:21:45,931 --> 00:21:49,021
That developer in Hong
Konginvited us to do research

307
00:21:49,101 --> 00:21:52,101
into nano units, which are roughly about

308
00:21:52,187 --> 00:21:54,817
180 square feet to 200 square feet.

309
00:21:55,941 --> 00:21:58,741
That's like the size of a parking space.

310
00:21:59,236 --> 00:22:02,236
That seems likeyour
apartment is too big now.

311
00:22:02,322 --> 00:22:04,282
Yeah, I could set the bar.

312
00:22:05,409 --> 00:22:10,619
All of these apartments around
hereare about the same size as yours,

313
00:22:10,706 --> 00:22:12,496
300 square feet, more or less.

314
00:22:12,583 --> 00:22:15,793
Curiously enough,
so many developers have launched

315
00:22:15,878 --> 00:22:19,628
these nano units,
but actually nobody really

316
00:22:19,715 --> 00:22:21,875
is seriously looking intohow people's lives

317
00:22:21,967 --> 00:22:23,387
could be done within this area.

318
00:22:27,097 --> 00:22:30,927
The world density is increasing.
The urban densities are increasing.

319
00:22:31,685 --> 00:22:35,015
Globally, 50% of peoplenow live in cities.

320
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:38,322
And the smaller unitsare
now a fact of life.

321
00:22:40,027 --> 00:22:41,147
Especially in Hong Kong,

322
00:22:41,236 --> 00:22:44,526
where most people don't have a
choiceabout the size of their home,

323
00:22:44,615 --> 00:22:48,405
Gary was way ahead of the curve in
termsof this whole micro housing issue

324
00:22:48,493 --> 00:22:49,953
that has become such a big one,

325
00:22:50,037 --> 00:22:52,867
with housing
becomingincreasingly unaffordable

326
00:22:52,956 --> 00:22:54,826
for an increasing number of people.

327
00:22:55,167 --> 00:22:57,707
And I think, in that sense,
Gary hit on something

328
00:22:57,794 --> 00:23:01,724
that has attracted a lot of attentionin
a way that is increasingly important,

329
00:23:01,798 --> 00:23:05,088
relevant and applicableto
cities all over the world.

330
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,270
For example, he has designed

331
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:16,980
one of the very thinnest pencil towersin
a city full of thin pencil towers,

332
00:23:17,064 --> 00:23:18,154
the Rednaxela.

333
00:23:18,982 --> 00:23:21,742
We did the architecture, interior,
and furniture all together, in one go.

334
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:25,070
And the site is really tiny,
no more than 1,000 square feet.

335
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:29,576
Nineteen stories high, not too
tall, with one unit per floor.

336
00:23:30,327 --> 00:23:33,907
It's essentiallyan elevator
and service stair core

337
00:23:33,997 --> 00:23:36,417
with little rooms attached to the side.

338
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,130
In New York, the average size ofa
studio flat is probably 500 square feet,

339
00:23:42,214 --> 00:23:44,054
maybe a little bit lower in London.

340
00:23:44,132 --> 00:23:47,802
But here in Hong Kong,
for the last five to ten years,

341
00:23:47,886 --> 00:23:50,466
we've been increasinglybuilding
smaller units.

342
00:23:54,017 --> 00:23:56,187
The area you could useinside the apartment

343
00:23:56,270 --> 00:23:58,440
is about 260 square feet.

344
00:24:00,607 --> 00:24:03,107
The main idea is we do a triangulation.

345
00:24:03,944 --> 00:24:07,414
We are able to create a more
thantwelve-foot-long table and window.

346
00:24:09,116 --> 00:24:12,656
The footprint is not too big,
but you are able to look out all the time

347
00:24:13,036 --> 00:24:15,786
so you feel not jammed and cramped.

348
00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:19,958
It's quite different from my home.

349
00:24:20,586 --> 00:24:22,126
The Rednaxela is even smaller

350
00:24:22,754 --> 00:24:25,474
but still built on the idea of

351
00:24:25,883 --> 00:24:26,883
flexibility

352
00:24:27,342 --> 00:24:29,052
and transformable spaces.

353
00:24:35,851 --> 00:24:37,641
To open this, a fingerprint is needed.

354
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:40,150
Keys are useless.

355
00:24:41,940 --> 00:24:43,570
You haven't been here for quite long.

356
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:44,740
Right.

357
00:24:46,945 --> 00:24:48,855
I've almost forgotten this
place, after one or two years.

358
00:24:48,947 --> 00:24:51,117
This used to be the kitchen.

359
00:24:53,118 --> 00:24:54,238
A total difference.

360
00:24:54,328 --> 00:24:55,368
It is much bigger now.

361
00:24:57,164 --> 00:24:58,334
Do you still remember?

362
00:24:58,415 --> 00:24:59,745
Yes.

363
00:25:03,170 --> 00:25:05,420
Have the windows been replaced?

364
00:25:05,506 --> 00:25:08,126
Yes. Previously, peoplecould
look through the glass at night.

365
00:25:08,217 --> 00:25:09,887
So I have replaced the old glass.

366
00:25:11,428 --> 00:25:14,518
Oh, there is a dishwasher.

367
00:25:15,057 --> 00:25:17,137
Wow, you've got a lot of dishware.

368
00:25:17,226 --> 00:25:18,476
All for yourself?

369
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,480
This way I don't have to
washall of them every time.

370
00:25:23,815 --> 00:25:27,105
Because of the upbringing from my parents

371
00:25:29,071 --> 00:25:31,031
my childhood taught me

372
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:34,034
how to cope with change and instability.

373
00:25:36,495 --> 00:25:38,285
And it taught me that

374
00:25:38,372 --> 00:25:40,122
I was able to do anything.

375
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,040
This cup looks different.

376
00:25:44,127 --> 00:25:45,047
Quite fancy.

377
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:46,592
What a cup.

378
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,590
This is more than just my home.

379
00:25:50,509 --> 00:25:52,639
This space is extremely emotional.

380
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:56,604
It's actually connected to me.

381
00:25:57,808 --> 00:26:01,138
How time flies! In just the blinkof an
eye, so many years have passed.

382
00:26:01,937 --> 00:26:04,897
Not only did I transform my home,

383
00:26:05,816 --> 00:26:07,066
it totally transformed me.

384
00:26:12,656 --> 00:26:13,736
Before our discussion

385
00:26:14,324 --> 00:26:17,414
I'd like to show yousome of
the key projects we have done.

386
00:26:18,912 --> 00:26:20,872
One of the most importantis still my home,

387
00:26:21,373 --> 00:26:22,423
the Domestic Transformer.

388
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:26,880
Have you done any
renovationon your apartment?

389
00:26:26,962 --> 00:26:28,672
After Domestic Transformer?

390
00:26:28,755 --> 00:26:29,585
I changed the window.

391
00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:34,550
Before it was tinted yellow,
which of course was fantastic...

392
00:26:35,012 --> 00:26:37,932
The Hong Kong Design Trustis
a foundation in Hong Kong

393
00:26:38,015 --> 00:26:42,095
that fosters creativityfor the
young professionals in design.

394
00:26:42,186 --> 00:26:46,226
Maybe we should walk upstairsand
talk about your projects.

395
00:26:46,315 --> 00:26:47,725
Twenty-something years ago,

396
00:26:47,816 --> 00:26:53,196
I was the one that actually
offered Garyhis first teaching job.

397
00:26:54,406 --> 00:26:59,616
In conjunction with the EDGE
Institute, his firm, he has the idea

398
00:26:59,703 --> 00:27:04,213
that he wants to work with young
peoplein a collaborative manner

399
00:27:04,791 --> 00:27:08,001
to bring out the best in them.

400
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:12,880
You have to see how things are
related, and how things co-exist

401
00:27:12,966 --> 00:27:14,676
in a tight footprint.

402
00:27:15,636 --> 00:27:19,096
It's important for me to be a
mentorto the younger architects

403
00:27:19,181 --> 00:27:20,851
because in our profession

404
00:27:21,266 --> 00:27:24,016
I still believe thatwhat
you learned and experienced

405
00:27:24,561 --> 00:27:27,151
should be passed onto
the younger generation.

406
00:27:28,190 --> 00:27:31,440
Your life is not about runningfrom
one bedroom to the kitchen.

407
00:27:33,529 --> 00:27:37,369
To me, it's more about what you doat
your home, and what you like most,

408
00:27:37,783 --> 00:27:38,953
and how to make it better.

409
00:27:40,911 --> 00:27:46,631
Gary actually is vital as a catalystfor
the young architects in the future.

410
00:27:47,167 --> 00:27:49,917
He is always interested in the next step,

411
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:52,922
always interested in going beyond.

412
00:27:59,763 --> 00:28:03,523
I think about what's kept me
hereinstead of moving to a bigger space.

413
00:28:05,227 --> 00:28:09,187
It is because I have chosento make my
life, and my home,

414
00:28:09,273 --> 00:28:11,613
a radical experiment in transformation.

415
00:28:14,194 --> 00:28:16,824
And I want to helpother
people transform too.

416
00:28:20,492 --> 00:28:22,042
Everything points to one thing,

417
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,369
and that is,
we should question how we live.

418
00:28:25,455 --> 00:28:27,575
Gary's solution is not the only way.

419
00:28:27,666 --> 00:28:29,996
You just need tohave
the willingness to try.

420
00:28:30,961 --> 00:28:34,511
And then I think we'd
makea much more creative

421
00:28:34,590 --> 00:28:36,510
and, let's say, happier society.

422
00:28:37,551 --> 00:28:40,601
Livability is keyto living at high density.

423
00:28:41,138 --> 00:28:43,018
And Gary, quite correctly,

424
00:28:43,098 --> 00:28:48,228
has made smaller units more habitable,
more interesting, more enjoyable.

425
00:28:50,105 --> 00:28:53,565
Homes are places that we entertain
in, that we retreat to,

426
00:28:53,650 --> 00:28:56,070
that we hide in or that we show off.

427
00:28:56,153 --> 00:29:01,203
And I have this image of Gary redefiningconstantly
his relationship with his home.

428
00:29:02,492 --> 00:29:05,332
Most of us only have one hometo
have a relationship with.

429
00:29:05,412 --> 00:29:06,662
He has 20.

430
00:29:07,456 --> 00:29:09,996
He sees things differently.
He approaches things differently.

431
00:29:10,083 --> 00:29:13,213
And I think that's whathis contribution is.

432
00:29:27,476 --> 00:29:30,766
I hope people can learnfrom
the Domestic Transformer

433
00:29:31,522 --> 00:29:35,732
that you don't need a large
hometo live luxuriously,

434
00:29:36,485 --> 00:29:40,815
that luxury is in the details of
your homeand the way you use it.

435
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,620
I hope one day that I will be
rememberedfor teaching people

436
00:29:48,163 --> 00:29:50,173
that small is beautiful.

436
