Wilpattu, Sri Lanka
A kabana, designed as an addition to an existing hotel property in Wilpattu, forming the first of several units planned across the site. The structure embraces the natural character of the landscape, oriented to frame the surrounding greenery and heighten the sense of immersion in the forest setting. A compact mezzanine level is incorporated within the tall A-frame form, maximizing usable space while maintaining the openness and simplicity of the structure.
Interior finishes follow a rustic, weathered palette, with natural textures and muted tones that blend with the environment and age gracefully over time. The overall architectural approach prioritizes simplicity, lightness, and minimal intervention, creating a secluded retreat that rests gently within the forest.
