In dieser Angelegenheit

Architecture in powerhouses is not uncommon elsewhere in the world but it is a relatively new concept in Sri Lanka. Having been involved in more than a dozen similar projects both in Sri Lanka and abroad, Architect Palinda Kannangara has added a touch of architectural beauty to Kadawala 1 - a hydro power plant in Ginigathhena.

It was the desire of Mr and Mrs Sumithra Gunasekera to have a set of chalets with an open dining area and a swimming pool, where friends and family could relax in a quiet area in Agalawatta. Archt Sudarshana Senadeera was assigned the task of transforming a hillock to match their specifications and today, Duwahena is an ideal holiday retreat.

Sigiriya has long stood as testimony of the genius of ancient Sri Lankan civilisation. Built in the 5th century AD, it is both a monument of architectural ingenuity and historical worth. In meeting the long-felt need for an archeological museum at Sigiriya, much had to be considered, for the building had to be worthy of this international heritage site. Archt Chandana Ellepola describes how he met this challenge to create what has been hailed today as South Asia’s most attractive museum.

“A little piece of drama at the edge of the street” is Archt Arosha Perera’s description of his project Petal Guru, situated at the edge of Tickell Road, Borella.
