Project Description:
For the past year humanitarian design organization TYIN Tegnestue (from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology) have built four incredible projects. These buildings include Soe Ker Tie (Butterfly Huts), Safe Haven Bathhouse, Safe Haven Library and Old Market Library.
They are most known for dormitories for Karen refugee children in the village of Noh Bo on the Thai-Burmese border. The six woven bamboo huts, dubbed Soe Ker Tie, or The Butterfly Huts because of their “winged” appearance were designed with the children’s happiness and health in mind. As simple as these new dorms may seem, they provide something wonderful for a growing child - a space to call their own to learn, sleep and play in.
