Chen House
Sanzhi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Type
YEAR
2008
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
The house is realized on an old
Japanese cherry-farm in the Datun -mountains of North-Taiwan. 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 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.The
bio-climatic architecture is designed to catch the cool breeze from the
Datun -river during the hot days and to let in the small winds
circulating on the site between the fresh water reservoir pond and the
farmlands. A fire place is used during the winter for heating and for
cooking tea. In connection with the bathroom is a small sauna.The
house is not strong or heavy – it is weak and flexible. It is also not
closing the environment out, but designed to give the farmers a needed
shelter.Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature. With this house we were looking forward to design a ruin.In
a dream last night, I saw a great storm. It seized the scaffolding. It
tore the cross-clasps, the iron ones, down. But what was made of wood,
swayed and remained.- Bertolt BrechtMarco Casagrande / C-LaboratoryTeam: Frank Chen, Shi-Ding Chen, Nikita Wu, Shu-Gi Bai Local Knowledge: Missis LeeLocation: Sanjhih, Taipei County, TaiwanSite: 3890 m2 farm land, Datun MountainsBuilding foot print: 138 m2Interior space: 62,5 m2Materials: mahogany, concreteCompleted: 2008
