The Chinese traditionally built their houses long and low for several practical reasons. Firstly, this design helped to withstand the region's climate, providing stability against strong winds and heavy rainfall. Additionally, long, low structures maximize usable space while promoting efficient heating and cooling. The layout also fosters a sense of community, as extended families could live together in a single, connected space.
