Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka

Nestled on the outskirts of Anuradhapura, the proposed hidden pilgrim facility offers an economical yet inviting lodging experience for pilgrim groups exploring the ancient city. The design primarily caters to large traveling groups, with two twin bedrooms on the ground floor providing comfortable accommodations for families, while four bedrooms on the upper level are designed for individuals and couples seeking a peaceful stay.

The project is thoughtfully designed to maximize the potential of an irregularly shaped site, focusing on cost-effectiveness and optimal land use. A communal kitchen and dining area open up to a central courtyard, which floods the interior with natural light, creating an airy and spacious ambiance throughout the living areas.

The combination of earthy materials and simple forms respects both budgetary constraints and the natural surroundings, making it an ideal choice for pilgrims seeking a serene and peaceful retreat while exploring the ancient city.
