The Bull Cooking School / Chiangmai Life Architects

Zabb e Lee started as a traditional Thai cooking school in the old town of Chiang Mai. When business was growing, the owners, a young local couple, expanded to a satellite site in the middle of the rice fields on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. To keep the natural feeling they asked Chiangmai Life Architects to design and build the cooking class pavilion, called “sala” in Thai, in bamboo. Its charm, functionality, and Instagrammability proved to be a huge success with clients so the owners commissioned a second one, the Double Dome, and then a third one.
