Here’s a sustainable orphanage built by a Norwegian non-profit group.TYIN that works to develop humanitarian architectural projects around the world. This orphanage in Thailand. the Soe Ker Tie House is one of four projects they have designed and built near the Burmese border. The orphanage uses local materials and a local labor force to create a very naturally sustainable project using a traditional Thai building technique. The bamboo needed to build the huts was harvested very close to the building site. Each hut collects rainwater, incorporates natural ventilation, and safely handles sewage.
