Safe Haven Bathhouse | Ban Than Song Yang | Thailand

So here it is.
TYIN isn't exactly a firm but an organization that is attempting to implement certain structures in remote areas of Thailand. With modest means the organization, and the student architects it hosts, create very appealing, simple and useful spaces. According to TYIN, the materials are local, found on site or purchased at local markets. This represents what building green really means. Please check out their other projects. TYIN tegnestue.

 If this doesn't look like your idea of fun-time in the bathroom, I don't think this blog is for you. Welcome to the Bookworm Cafe on Lamma Island in Hong Kong. I ran into my fair share of holes in the ground during my stay in China, but this one was most definitely the most welcoming of all. Pots filled with incense sticks in the back, hands on flushing and an array of nature loving stencil painted quotes on the walls. "Please don't put your tissues down the toilet. It's environmentally not good!" At least one thing is for sure, the trash bin will never be optional to the decor of this baby!
