Photographer Michael Wolf has compiled 100 photos of residents in their 100 square foot homes in Hong Kong's oldest public housing estate. The images are truly jaw-dropping in their simple portrayal of individual lives in the same tiny space.
Also on Michael's website are collections of other building types in China, including industrial architecture, corner houses, and architecture of density.
Wolf's compositions are particularly compelling for what they leave out. Earth and sky make only rare appearances, lending the architectural photography an almost palpable extra-terrestrial quality.
