Teratai Architecture creates refined traditional timber buildings for modern life, as well as bamboo kit houses and pavilions. Each design is modular balancing craft and technology. We specialise as an online platform for idea conception and drawing coordination. Our focus is on the conceptual phase of design turning your ideas into precise 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) that generates coordinated drawing sets you can build from.
Created by English architect Charlotte Louise Chambers (Lottie) Teratai Architecture offers practical building resources shaped by years of experience designing building and innovating with timber. Working at the intersection of forward thinking regenerative design and traditional craft using modern design technology. Our approach empowers developers, communities and self builders to access high quality professional designs.
Teratai Architecture blends architectural design and education into a system that helps others build and imagine differently. We offer a growing library of architectural knowledge through coordinated drawing sets and buildable blueprints like our Modular House System MHS101, we help build connection between people, environment and community.
From our 3D models we extract all the drawings, ready for local engineers, architects, authorities, contractors and suppliers to bring into reality. Our aim is to make the path from vision to building clear, achievable and possible.
