Soe Ker Tie House (Butterfly Houses)

Type chantier : Construction neuve

Type batiment : Bâtiments Tertiaire

The most prominent feature is the bamboo weaving technique, which was used on the side and back facades of the houses. The same technique can be found within the construction of the local houses and crafts. All of the bamboo was harvested within a few kilometres of the site.

The specially shaped roof of the Soe Ker Tie Houses promotes natural ventilation within the sleeping units and at the same time rainwater can be collected and stored for the dry season. The iron wood construction is assembled on-site using bolts ensuring precision and strength. To prevent problems with moisture and rot, the sleeping units are raised off the ground on four concrete foundations, casted in old tires.
