Hong Kong architects design houses made from water tubes

by Larra Morris

Hong Kong has been the most expensive city in the world to buy a house in for the last seven years, so architects like James Law have gone small with their designs, creating micro-homes to maximize land use.

But James’ micro-homes aren’t like the tiny houses that were all the rage a few years back, because he uses concrete water pipes to make his cylindrical homes. Continue reading at Neatorama

One thought on “Hong Kong architects design houses made from water tubes”

  1. Good: The landlord used to work in Oil & Gas Field Tech so they won’t be flipping them like crazy.
    Bad: They’ve been collecting a lot of reusable takeaway and LP lines…
    Spec: Cavitation isn’t as bad as they say once you get used to it.
