An ancestral home redefined. Bordering the Ulagalla and Wannanmaduwa reservoirs, in Anuradhapura, the Boutique Hotel at Ulagalla is built on 52 acres of sprawling land.
Sprawling over 35 acres of land, Mirissa Hills, a cinnamon estate with various beautiful vistas and captivatingly designed and decorated buildings, lends itself seamlessly to being a relaxing holiday escape.
Architects Thushari and Thilan Koththigoda needed a homely space that spelt relaxation away from a busy and demanding work life. The inspiring design of the ‘House Full of Light’ located in Kaduwela, came into being to fulfill this purpose.
The two main requirements that influenced the design of this house are the site and the client’s brief. The client wanted a house which blended in with its surroundings with a lot of natural light and ventilation “I considered all these factors and realised that the ideal concept was a courtyard house,” says Archt Shobha Seneviratna.
