The Cultural Courtyard - Elephant World / Bangkok Project Studio
Kui people are an ethnic group in Surin, north-eastern Thailand. For many centuries, members of a Kui family have always included both humans and elephants. A Kui house features the space for humans, and the space for elephants—right under the same roof.
Approaching the building, the inside is hidden from view. The steepness of the mounds creates a unique transition from the outside to the inside. Image © Spaceshift Studio
