Elephant House
Residential and institutional architecture inspired by elephant forms, spatial logic, or cultural contexts where elephants are significant.
Elephant House explores how architects draw from animal morphology, cultural symbolism, and landscape integration to create distinctive residential and public spaces. The topic examines design approaches that reference elephantine qualities—whether through sculptural form, spatial organization, or contextual sensitivity.Community work ranges from dedicated elephant care facilities and interpretation centres to residential projects that adopt folded, sculptural, or landscape-embedded design strategies. Projects demonstrate how architects reinterpret vernacular building logic and natural forms across diverse geographies, from Singapore terraces to Thai riverfront conversions to forest retreats.
