Tiny, cramped apartments are the norm in Taiwan because it's such a small place with so many people. The population is exploding, and there's rarely anywhere to build besides up. Just because a place is undersized doesn't mean that it can't be amazing, though. Architect George Clarke knows a thing or two about turning small areas into exceptional living spaces. As a matter of fact, this month on National Geographic Channel, Clarke takes a camera crew into some places where it seems that no one could possibly live and then gives them a facelift on Amazing Spaces.
For many people, the thought of having a place to escape from the hecticworld is nothing but a pipe dream. Clarke demonstrates how these dreams can come true in his show. He meets people who are building houses out ofshipping containers, broken down buses, canal boats, underground toilets, and more. In each episode, Clarke gives recommendations and tips and shows the owners what can be done to make their spaces more roomy and livable.
Clarke also demonstrates his own abilities when he buys a run-down caravan for nearly US$500. He plans on remodeling and making it a second home for his growing family. While his builder doesn't see the potential in therusted-out caravan, Clarke doesn't give up. Instead, he rips out all the cheeky1970s interior and uses some ingenious designs to create extra space for his family. The question that remains, though, is if his family will dig it. Join George Clarke and a host of others as they convert their puny chambers into Amazing Spaces.
