The Bull @ Zabb e Lee Cooking School
Chiangmai Life Architects
Bamboo Pavilion for Hospitality
Zabb e Lee cooking school teaches the art of Thai cooking to visitors from around the world.
In order to complement the local charm, Chiangmai Life Architects was commissioned to design and build the actual teaching pavilions made of locally acquired bamboo. A wise decision, as their charm, functionality, and Instagrammability proved to be a huge success with clients.
The location for the third bamboo pavilion was at the small end of the property, between a big tree and a little pond. The challenge was to incorporate the dead-end in an attractive way, and also to accommodate all the space necessary for teaching. The sala had to provide ample space for 10 food preparation stations, 10 cooking stations, and a big dining table.
The front would be visible from anywhere in the property, and the back would have to accommodate some views of the adjacent rice field. As a big tree on one side, and a pond on the other, reduced the available span, the architects designed the main body in a U-shape to increase the covered space. Then, letting creativity flow, a bull’s head with pointy horns emerged, resulting in a dynamic design that immediately attracts attention.
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.

About Chiangmai Life Architects (CLA)
The design philosophy of Chiangmai Life Architects (CLA) is rooted in three core principles: Functionality, Sustainability, and Smiles. These principles guide every project that they undertake, ensuring that their creations are not only visually stunning, but also practical, eco-friendly, and emotionally engaging.
Functionality: Chiangmai Life Architects believe that a well-designed space should serve its intended purpose efficiently and effectively. Their innovative designs are tailored to meet the unique needs of their clients, ensuring that every structure they create is both practical and user-friendly. By integrating modern engineering science and technology with natural materials, CLA achieves a harmonious balance between form and function.
Sustainability: At CLA, sustainability is at the heart of everything they do. They are committed to using sustainable materials and ecologically sound construction practices to minimize their environmental impact. CLA projects are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally responsible, contributing to a greener future. They believe that true sustainability can only be achieved when there is a deep connection between the building and its occupants.
Smiles: The essence of CLA's design philosophy is captured in the smiles of those who experience their buildings. They strive to create spaces that evoke positive emotions and foster a sense of connection. When someone sees one of their buildings and smiles, it signifies a bond between the structure and the observer. This connection enriches the lives of CLA's clients and ensures that they will cherish and care for their spaces, enhancing both functionality and sustainability.
Chiangmai Life Architects primarily use bamboo and clay/earth to craft these bioclimatic spaces using flowing organic lines, ensuring they blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings. Natural materials automatically create a connection by touching the heart, and using organic curves enhances this connection by bringing people closer to nature’s own forms.
