Holiday House, Panadura
Perspective View / Exterior
The dwelling is a privately-owned holiday residence, which performs the role of a “retreat” for an exclusive user category in quest of a let-up to distance themselves from a hectic city life. The design is a synthesis of three generators; the minimalist cost, response to the context, and the function of recreation expected by the clients. The minimalist language of architecture is intensified via the unification of its built form, Structural system, usage of materials, colors and textures. The enchanting spirit of the place has been concretized in to a simple linear two storied open viewing pavilion provided with minimal comfy amenities for lodging.
