Designboom:

situated on an old cherry farm in the datum mountains of north taiwan is `chen house`,
created by finnish firm c- laboratory. the structure was designed to react on the demanding
wind, flooding and heat conditions on the site.

built on poles the house is raised above the ground in order to let the flood waters run
under it. the different spaces are connected to a flexible movement within the axis of
outdoor and indoor functions. the smaller bathroom and kitchen unit acts as a kicker
stabilizing the wooden structure during the frequent typhoons and earthquakes.
