Soe Ker Tie House

This is quite old project by Tyin Architects, but worth checking it again!

In the fall of 2008 TYIN traveled to Noh Bo, a small village on the Thai-Burmese border to design and build houses for Karen refugee children. The 60 year long conflict in Burma forced several hundred thousand people to flee from their homes. The conflict leaves many children orphaned, with little hope for the future.

The Soe Ker Tie House is a blend between local skills and TYIN’s architectural knowledge. Because of their appearance the buildings were named Soe Ker Tie Haus (The Butterfly Houses) by the Karen workers. more about project
