TYIN travelled to a small village on the Thai-Burmese border in Thailand in 2008, following a meeting with Ola Jorgen Edna to design a project in Noh Bo.

[1] Edna, who was originally from Levanger Norway and currently resides in Thailand, opened an orphanage in Noh Bo in 2006 for Karen refugee children.

The architects involved were Andreas Grontvedt Gjertsen, Yashar Hanstad, Magnus Henricksen, Line Ramstad, Erlend Bauck Sole and Pasi Aalto.

A number of the new principles were introduced by TYIN during the construction of the Soe Ker Tie Houses, like the bracing of timber structures, and the casting of concrete in reused car tires.

[5] After the six months working with Ola Jorgen Edna in Noh Bo, TYIN contacted Tasanee Keereepraneed of the Safe Haven Orphanage.

For Karen culture the bathing area is partly privatized, this is achieved by the slanting bamboo facade, obstructing the view into the building.

Within this bathhouse TYIN attempted alternative solutions, such as layers of stone and gravel below the wooden flooring, allow all the wet rooms to remain clean and dry.

Safe Haven Library was the result of a two-week-long workshop with 15 students from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology under the watchful eye of TYIN and the NTNU professors.

[9] This was led by Sami Rintala The 15 students involved were Jan Kristian Borgen, Mari Folven, Ragnhild Forde, Sunniva Vold Huus, Olav Fasetbru Kildal, Lene M. N. Kveernss, Oda Moen Most, Ojan Nyheim, Karoline Salomonsen, Anne Sandnes, Ola Sendsted, Kristoffer B. Thorud, Caroline Tjernas, Pasi Aalto and Anders Sellevold Asseth.

[9] Starting from the ground up, large rocks and stones were collected from the neighbouring area, to form a basic foundation base for the concrete to be cast.

A few themes stand out: simple, modern construction with local materials, the creation of small, private nooks for personal space, and many children.

The architects involved were Kasama Yamtree, Andreas Grontvedt Gjertsen, Yashar Hanstad, Magnus Henricksen, Erlend Sole and Pasi Aalto.

In the months of February and March 2010, Rudy Ricciotti, Patrick Bouchain Lacaton & Vassal, Luca Merlini and Lefevre & Aubert wanted to further investigate the world of architecture and through this he gathered two teams of architects - TYIN and Anna Heringer to exhibit their work.
