Box of Tricks

So there's this architect, Gary Chang, in Hong Kong who has lived in the same apartment since he was 14. Now that he's older and wiser, he outfitted his apartment to maximize space. Mostly. He installed accordion-style walls, and can have up to 14 different room configurations. Pretty clever. My only hesitation with the space is that he needs to purge his cd collection. Anyone ever heard of iTunes?The man himself.

The ridiculous cd collection, flat panel TV mounted on one of the moveable walls, and the stacked laundry.

Apparently, this guy loves cleanliness. He's got an oversize tub, a steam shower, and a toto toilet with a heated seat and bidet function.

A shot of the walls in action. They're all installed on steel tracks located on the ceilings.

The kitchen, of course.

The murphy-style bed he designed. There is a couch on the other side that is in use during the daytime.

Hammock lounge. I'd rather have a nice chair, but I suppose space constraints dictate furniture selection in this home.

And lastly, the closet. I love an organized closet. Just like Carrie Bradshaw, I suppose.

poster boy!!!!!!

OMG.

this guy from nyc makes art out of posters in subways with just a razor and a dash of creativity.

he's political, funny, controversial, and thought provoking all at once. LOVE <3

check out his flikr photos here. 

This creeps me out.

And also makes me happy. All at the same time.

I love this stuff.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows on TV these days- Ace of Cakes. Their creativity and dry humor is one of my absolute favorite things to watch. Not to mention they're all a bit hipster-y, which really makes me happy. The greatest thing about this whole tomfoolery is that they make these amazing creations out of edible things... chocolate, sugar, and pure goodness. Check out some of my favorite works of art below.
