Finding Space in the Tightest Places

I was absolutely amazed after watching this video. In such a densely populated city like New York, many of us are always complaining that we do not have enough space- to live, to breathe, to do anything, really. In addition, developers may find it challenging to build new apartments that are eco-friendly. I think that this gentleman in Hong Kong may have the answer for both residents and developers when it comes to maximizing the use out of small spaces and developing a “green” apartment. I feel that an apartment like this would definitely be a step in the right direction if built in New York CIty, and I would not mind living in such a space.

    This is amazing. Unfortunately, I feel like we won’t see something like this in America for decades because as efficient as it is, people are simply lazy and wouldn’t want to live in a cramped place to be constantly moving panels. I can only hope that something like this comes sooner.

    Wow! That’s amazing! Frankly, I think I could get used to moving the panels.

    Interesting. But moving panels on a daily basis is a bummer. I agree with Daniel that it won’t gain popularity in new york because people are lazy.
