Lanna Rice Research Center acts not only as research hub but multipurpose spaces as well to support various users from researchers, farmer to students. Functional rooms were arranged in a row to get natural light and ventilation, while bamboo blinds help to filter the heat. Local materials, concrete block walls, polished concrete floors and concrete roof tiles were used for low maintenance.
