DeZona: The Chen house is realized on an old Japanese cherry-farm in the Datun -mountains of North-Taiwan by Marco Casagrande and Frank Chen. It is designed as a vessel to react on the demanding wind, flooding and heat conditions on the site. The house is a stick raised above the ground in order to let the flood waters run under. The different spaces are connected to a flexible movement within the axis of outdoor and indoor functions.
