Damith Premathilake Architects: Nestled in the tea country hills of central Sri Lanka, there lies a holiday home that perfectly blends with the surrounding nature. This plush hideout is not just an architectural marvel but an experience that embraces the very essence of Nuwara Eliya. The holiday home is designed to be an elegant structure that delicately touches the earth on three axes. Its strategic placement ensures that every corner of this abode is embraced with panoramic views of the picturesque landscape.
As you step inside, one is greeted by a mesmerizing sight - a centralized open living space crowned with an extravagant skylight that stretches across mid of the roof structure. This design allows the surroundings to gently seep into the interiors. During the day, the warm rays of the sun filter through the skylight, casting soft, dancing shadows that lend an ethereal quality to the surroundings and is accentuated by carefully curated interior elements. The choice of materials - soft timber, earthy-coloured fabrics, steel, and natural rubble - weaves a harmonious tapestry that enhances the cosy and inviting atmosphere. The true enchantment of this holiday home unfolds as twilight embraces the landscape.
As the sun sets beyond the horizon, the moon illuminates the night sky. The skylight, once a conduit for sunlight, now becomes a window to the glistening night sky leaving the residence awestruck and lost in contemplation. In the heart of Nuwara Eliya's emerald embrace, this timeless dwelling stands as an intimate retreat where nature becomes a living, breathing companion inviting guests to revel in its beauty and find solace within itself.
