Description
Abstract
The Hong Kong Single Occupancy Strip (HK:SOS) project is a response to a growing housing crisis in Hong Kong, in which the domestic environments of the future are becoming more unaffordable and less habitable. In reaction to the increasing cost and shrinking size of Hong Kong housing units, the HK:SOS project explores the challenges and limitations of living in minimally sized spaces by producing a linear apartment for a single individual. By packing life's quotidian activities into an impossibly thin strip, the project pushes the design of a domestic environment to a spatial extreme.
