泰國清邁　公牛亭

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. In order to keep the natural feeling they asked Chiangmai Life Architects to design and build the cooking class pavilion, called "sala" in Thai, in bamboo. It's charm, functionality and instagrammability proved to be a huge success with clients and so the owners commissioned a second one, the Double Dome and then a third one.

Zabb e Lee 是清邁舊城區的一所傳統泰式烹飪學校，由於近年業務的成長，業主選擇將其擴展到清邁郊區的稻田中央。並且為了維持自然氛圍，他們提出期望使用竹子設計以及建造烹飪亭的想法，泰語稱為「sala 薩拉」。然而事實證明此設計的外觀魅力、機能使用上都獲取得了巨大成功，吸引了龐大的顧客群，因此接二連三地建造了雙圓頂，以及第三個新庭院。

The location for the third Bamboo Sala was at the small side end of the property between a big tree and a little pond. The challenge for us was to optimize this position within the property to round things up in an attractive and welcoming way and also accommodate all the space necessary for the teaching. The sala had to provide ample space for 10 food preparation stations, 10 cooking stations and a big dining table.

第三個薩拉的位置位於該地基的側端，一棵大樹與小池塘之間。團隊所面臨的挑戰是優化場地內的位置，以特殊的建築魅力，結合烹飪教學需要的所有空間。大廳必須容納 10 個食物準備站、10 個烹飪站和一張大餐桌以提供充足的空間。

The front would be visible from anywhere in the property and the back would have to accommodate some view of the adjacent rice field. As a big tree on one side and a pond on the other reduced the available span, we designed the main body in a U-shape to increase the covered space. Then, letting the design lines flow, a bull's head with pointy horns emerged. So whereas the Double Dome is a rather calm and balanced structure, the Bull is very dynamic and immediately attracts attention.

本案中，任何角度皆可觀賞到前方自然景觀，而後方則必能看見鄰近稻田的景色。由於一側有一棵大樹，另一側是一個池塘，減少了其可使用的跨度，因此團隊將將主體設計成U形，以增加覆蓋空間。而後，隨著設計線條的流動，一個帶有尖角的牛頭出現了。因此，即便雙圓頂是一個相當平穩的結構，其公牛般的造型則恰好展現出建築的活力及魅力，能夠立即地引起人們的注意。

The upward pointing horns create welcoming entrances, that lead to two dome like spaces connected by a longer space, thus creating three distinct areas for the three functions, preparation, cooking and eating. The domes are based on crossing bamboo arches made of bundled bamboo rods. This design gives the interior space a bigger feel than the outside form would suggest. The natural colour and flowing lines create a warm and harmonious atmosphere, enhanced in the evening with well positioned lighting.As the main material used is bamboo which absorbs carbon dioxide during its growth, the carbon footprint is zero or negative.

量體向上揚的角落創造了迎賓的入口，並連結通往兩個圓頂狀的空間，由較長的空間連接起來，從而為準備、烹飪和就餐這三種功能創造了三個彼此不同卻相連的區域。而圓頂的基礎便是由捆綁的竹桿所製成的交叉竹拱，這樣的設計給內部空間帶來了比外部形式更大的視感。自然的色彩和流暢的線條，加上晚上的燈光進一步烘托，營造出場域溫暖、和諧的氛圍。且由於組成主要材料是竹子，其在生長過程中會吸收二氧化碳，因此本項目的碳足跡為零或為負。
