Cha House, Baroque residential building in French Concession, Shanghai, China
The Cha House combines red brick walls with decorative stone elements and features symmetrical windows across its multi-story facade.
Built in 1920 for two brothers in the dye industry, the building later served as additional classroom space for Minli Middle School after World War II.
The structure incorporates both European baroque architecture and traditional Jiangnan residential design elements from the local region.
The building underwent a precise engineering operation in 2010, moving 57 meters horizontally to its current location at HKRI Taikoo Hui development.
Engineers relocated the entire structure using hydraulic jacks at a controlled rate of two centimeters per minute over two weeks.
