Based on a spatial analytical comparing between interior space in Tai Yuan&nbsp;Houses from the literature review and fieldwork survey in Mae Chaem District, Chiang&nbsp;Mai Province. On issues related to: elements of space, the relationship between&nbsp;space, functions and way of life, and the renovation/extensions patterns and effects&nbsp;to the spaces. Qualitative method was used in carrying out the research based on&nbsp;observation which information was collected from observations and interviews of&nbsp;a field study at Mae Chaem District, Chiang Mai Province. This study found that Tai&nbsp;Yuan House perceived from the fieldwork survey in Mae Chaem District and from&nbsp;literature review are similar in main structures of space’s elements and characteristics&nbsp;but widely different in details of secondary elements which come from the higher&nbsp;needs of more space following in the present Tai Yuan people’s way of life. Interior&nbsp;space is designed in order of access and privacy from outside to inside by using the&nbsp;knowledge about level of floor and enclosure wall to specify living area. This creates&nbsp;a smooth transition of space. The study of Spatial Characteristics in Tai Yuan Houses&nbsp;shows the wisdom of organization of space that is consistent with the activities and&nbsp;way of life of Tai Yuan people. These knowledges could be applied to modern houses&nbsp;design that still maintains Tai Yuan’s identity.</p> ER -
