He is also known for his home, the Domestic Transformer, which can turn into "24 rooms" within a limited space of 32 sq.m. He is currently the Managing Director of EDGE Design Institute Ltd., the renowned company he founded in 1994.

In 1994, Chang founded his first company, EDGE.

Chang has also designed the Kung Fu Tea Set for Italian houseware brand ALESSI; A "Workstation" for Ogilvy & Mather Asia Pacific; The Kitagata Housing Product in Gifu; The Hong Kong Pavilion at the 50th Anniversary of the PRC, Beijing in 1999.

2002

Chang has won multiple awards, including the ar+d Awards in 2002 and 2003 in Copenhagen and London for Light Hotel and Suitcase House.

2003

The company was renamed EDGE Design Institute Ltd in 2003.

The company works on projects for houses, retails, hotels, restaurants, and offices, and also creates products such as furniture, houseware, etc.

Chang’s architecture focuses on concepts of urban space, form and material.

Most of his work concentrates on flexible designs with transforming interior spaces and architecture.

He has become an influential figure in designs for compact living spaces.

One of Chang's best known works is of his own home in Hong Kong, the project known as the Domestic Transformer.

Space in Hong Kong homes has become increasingly limited because of a growing population.

Chang uses his architecture skills to find solutions to crowding for the people of Hong Kong.

He has lived in the same 344 square foot apartment since he was a child, and has experimented frequently with space-saving strategies as part of his research.

His designs combine comfortable living, efficient use of space and practical day-to-day function.

The Domestic Transformer is the fourth design created by Chang for this apartment.

It can transform into twenty-four different rooms through the use of sliding walls and panels.

This project is comparable to a puzzle, where pieces are continuously being unfolded, while others are folded/fitted back together to create new rooms and spaces.

Another design by Gary Chang is the Suitcase House located in Beijing by the Great Wall of China.

This project is one of the hotels designed for the Commune by The Great Wall, where various notable Asian architects (such as Shigeru Ban, Kengo Kuma, Yung Ho Chang, etc.) were invited to design.

Similar to the Domestic Transformer, the space in the Suitcase House could adapt to different uses and programmes flexibly.

This design is 44 meters by 5 meters wide, shaped like a long rectangular box.

It is made from mostly timber, concrete and steel for structural support.

The Suitcase House transforms from a public gathering space during the daytime to a multi-spatial hotel structure to shelter guests at night, all through uses of alternating panels and doors.

Edge Design Institute was appointed by ACTS, a developer and operator of serviced apartments, to design two buildings in Hong Kong.

ACTS is owned by Carl Gouw (吳家耀), who collaborated with Gary Chang on showcasing compact living with ACTS Serviced Apartments.

ACTS is involved in real estate, design and construction.

Carl Gouw is a veteran of luxury design projects for decades and was a committee member of Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design.

ACTS Rednaxela project is mentioned in the book ‘Urbanizing Carescapes of Hong Kong ‘ written by Shu-mei Huang.

2009

The Domestic Transformer won the Design for Asia Award 2009 Grand Award and Bronze Award.

Chang has won many other awards in Asia and throughout the world for his reconfigurable living spaces and product designs.

Chang’s project ACTS Rednaxela Terrace was awarded Design for Asia Merit award from Hong Kong Design Centre.

The building model is exhibited at M+ museum of West Kowloon Cultural District.
