Eco friendly dorms for Thai orphanage


Architecture firm TYIN Tegnestue created these dormitories for an orphanage in a small village on the Thai-Burmese border. These dorms are made using the traditional bamboo weaving technique, and most of the bamboo is harvested within a few kilometers of the site. The unique shape of the roof is designed in a manner in which it can harvest rainwater to provide water for the children during drier periods.
