TYIN tegnestue Architects was established in 2008. The ofce
has completed several projects in poor and underdeveloped
areas of Thailand, Burma, Haiti and Uganda.
Solutions to real and fundamental challenges call for an
architecture where everything serves a purpose – an architecture
that follows necessity. By involving the local populace actively
in both the design and building of their projects, TYIN are able
to establish a framework for mutual exchange of knowledge
and skills. All materials used in TYIN´s projects are collected
close to the sites or purchased from local merchants.
TYIN is currently run by Masters of Architecture Andreas G.
Gjertsen and Yashar Hanstad, and has its headquarters in
the Norwegian city of Trondheim. TYIN has won several
international awards and their projects have been published
and exhibited worldwide.

Klong Toey is currently the largest and oldest area of
informal dwellings in Bangkok and more than 140.000
people is estimated to live here. The area has great social
challenges which lead to high rates of violence and crime.
A year of preparation period allowed the team to design
and build the structure in as little as three weeks. The
project’s main functions are a playground for children and
a common gathering place for adults.
The basic idea behind the project is that Klong Toey
Communty Lantern can be part of a long term strategyacting as a social tool to improve community conditions in
a positive development.
Fifty small points of light are set among the pillars - Klong
Toey Communty Lantern a convenient, safe and exciting
lantern, both practically and guratively.

Naust på Aure
Location: Møre og Romsdal, Norway
Client: Stein Erik Sørstrøm
Project: Boathouse
Cost: 250 000 NOK / 4 634 EURBuilding period: April 2010 – January 2011
Built by: TYIN tegnestue Arkitekter
Photographer: Pasi Aalto
Architects: Marianne Løbersli Sørstrøm
Yashar Hanstad
The boathouse is located on the outermost reaches of the
Moere-coast, and it hails from the middle of the eighteenth
century. It was in such a bad state that the owner decided
to tear it down and build it anew. The simplicity of the old
building, its good placement and honest use of materials
would become key sources of inspiration for the design of
the new building.
The disclosed and somewhat unavailable location made
material-reuse very desirable.
An adaptable design approach coupled with a highdegree of presence on the work site have been crucial for
the nal result of this project. Rational choices in regards
to material use, method of construction and detailing
have given this boathouse its distinguished architectural
features.

Old Market Library
Min Buri is an area of Bangkok, which in recent years has gone
from a lively origo into an almost slum-like area. The Old Market
Library was built in a 100-year-old market building and for over
a period of ve months, we designed and built what we hope, in
time, can strengthen the passion in the neighbourhood.
For this project to be successful it was important to involve
the inhabitants actively throughout the whole process, from
inception to completion. Initially we mapped the needs within
the community by holding regular meetings. These meetings
ranged from drawing and building models, to even clearinggarbage. Aside from introducing ourselves to the community
we wanted a deeper understanding of the situation they lived in.
It wasn’t always easy getting everyone involved, especially the
adults. However when the project became more tangible this
completely changed. We soon had a regular group that worked
with us every day and who began to develop an attachment
to the library, a sense of achievement and pride. Besides this
social premise of commitment to the library, it was important
for us to use local and reused materials, which were already
available to the community.
The refurbishment was a demonstration of what can be
achieved by the inhabitants themselves, through own initiative,
using local inexpensive materials and their own knowledge.

Safe Haven Bathhouse
The new sanitary building houses the basic needs of
the orphanage; the toilets, personal hygiene facilities
and laundry. The internal structure was already built and
became the framework for the project.
The existing sanitary facilities at Safe Haven Orphanage
were narrow, dark and have concrete ooring that
accumulated water and dirt. With this bathhouse we
have tried alternative solutions that hopefully will be an
important asset in the future development in the district.
The climate of northern Thailand makes good personal
hygiene essential to prevent diseases, especially for small
children. With this bathhouse TYIN wanted to create well
functioning and dignied facility for personal hygiene.

In January 2009, TYIN invited 15 Norwegian architect
students from NTNU to participate in a workshop at the
Safe Haven Orphanage, Thailand. Under the guidence of
Associate Professor Hans Skotte and architect Sami Rintala.
The Lybrary stands on a concrete base casted on a bed of
large rocks gathered on-site. The walls consist of plastered
concrete blocks and cool the building during the day while the
open bamboo facades provided ample natural ventilation.
Iron wood make up the solid frame construction and serves
as a comfortable oor for the children to play on.
The most important thing to the Tasanee is that her children
have food and an education. The library enables the
children of the Safe Haven Orphanage to have a space todo homework, use a computer with internet and read books.
The new building has also attained the important role of a
gathering space and is frequently used for making crafts and
playing games.

Soe Ker Tie House

In the fall of 2008 TYIN travelled to Noh Bo, a small village in
the border between Thailand and Burma to design and build
houses for Karen refugee children.
The main driving force behind the Soe Ker Tie House was toprovide the children with their own private space, a place that
they could call home and a space for interaction and play.
The buildings were named “Soe Ker Tie Haus” by the Karen
workers, the “Buttery Houses”. The most prominent feature is
the bamboo weaving technique, which 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.
After a six month long mutual learning process with the locals
in Noh Bo, the Soe Ker Tie House was completed in 2009consisting of 6 sleeping units, housing 24 children. Important
principles like bracing, material economisation and moisture
prevention, may possibly lead to a more sustainable building
tradition for the Karen people in the future.

Rundhallen is the entry hall of Samfundet in Trondheim.For a period of 11 months, the project combined efforts
from more than 70 volunteer students and professionals.
The main concept was to restore Rundhallen to it´s
original state as it was made in 1929.
The walls, ceiling and oors were restored by examining
old photos from the photo archives at Samfundet. As all
light sources were placed to bring greater focus to the
existing shapes and structures in the circular room.
All additional installations were designed to emphasize
the contrast between the old and new, highlighting some
of the dignity it had when the students took the building
for the rst time.
