In The Peaceful Shades Of Earth

In the Peaceful Shades Of Earth

The spirit of an island.
The spirit of the sun and the sand
The spirit of the sea and the sky…

The peeping clumps of coconut palms and kaitha bushes breaking the expanse of close-cropped grass that highlight the white of the walls and complement the tiles of the roof silhouetted against blue skies gently shade cool interiors with natural stone floors and  wide doors and windows in wood ..making you seamlessly part of nature

Yes, the space is modern tropical, the style unmistakable, like a van Gogh painting “Signature Geoffrey Bawa”.
Sri Lanka and its lingering charm of colonial times have been perfectly showcased by its peerless architect.

Indigenous materials and  found new acceptance and elegance in the trend initiated and influenced by Bawa
His own mixed heritage of English European Muslim and Sinhalese lineage in a wealthy background would have contributed to the understated elegance in his design.

Bentota and Colombo have benefited most from the renovations as perfect places for tourists wanting to unwind.
The colors of a calm blue, green and white touches of wood in the doorways and windows open and wide letting the light and freshness of the air
gently blowing breeze making the fans hanging from high wooden rafters into a mere ornament.

Serene spaces that could awaken the poet in you or inspire a new business idea or simply relax like in a spa.
