This residential renovation embraces a deeply vernacular architectural approach, drawing inspiration from the timeless aesthetic of Geoffrey Bawa. Rooted in Sri Lanka’s cultural and climatic context, the design celebrates open courtyards, deep overhangs, clay tiled roofs, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection — hallmarks of tropical modernism. Carefully integrating reclaimed materials, local craftsmanship, and lush landscaping, the renovation retains the soul of the original home while subtly introducing modern elements such as minimalist finishes, discreet lighting, and contemporary spatial flow. The result is a residence that feels both nostalgic and current — an authentic reinterpretation of Sri Lankan heritage through a modern lens.
