TYIN Tegnestue is a non-profit group of student architects which recently designed unusual wood prefab houses in Noh Bo, Tak, Thailand. The house which called Soe Ker Tie Hias means “the Butterfly Houses”, are named for their innovative flip-up roof design that enables effective natural ventilation while collecting rainwater for re-use.
These eco-friendly prefab homes are clad in locally harvested bamboo, and the material is woven using a traditional method on the front and rear facades that appears commonly in other homes and crafts done in the area. The homes are prefabricated and assembled on site, adding to their sustainable appeal. The houses are raised off the ground, set on four foundations cast in old tires, eliminating the problem of excessive moisture and resulting rot.
