Five Scattered Houses, Ningbo

The Five Scattered Houses consist of five separate structures integrated into a 25-hectare park, reflecting traditional Chinese building practices through modern design.

The residential project, completed in 2008 by architect Wang Shu, responds to China's rapid urbanization while preserving traditional architectural elements of Zhejiang Province.

The houses incorporate feng shui principles with south-facing orientations and specific room arrangements that reflect Chinese family hierarchies and social structures.

The construction employs local materials and craftsmen techniques, focusing on natural ventilation systems and sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact.

Each structure maintains individual privacy while connecting through shared spaces, with the buildings following the natural contours of the hillside terrain.
