Athurugiriya, Sri Lanka

Designed for a couple in the field of IT, this home, located in Athurugiriya, is envisioned as a calm retreat from screen-intensive work, where greenery and natural light become part of daily living. Landscaped courts and openings are used to bring nature into view, offering visual relief and a relaxed indoor environment. The ground floor includes a two-car garage, guest bedroom, an open living, dining, and kitchen spaces, while the upper floor accommodates bedrooms, a home office, gym, and TV lobby.

A shrine room at the entrance gives spiritual prominence and defines the arrival experience. The front façade is designed with a perforated screen to filter light and breeze while ensuring privacy. An earthy material palette of stone, timber, and soft neutral finishes enhances the overall sense of calmness and connection to nature.
