PROPOSED PRIVATE RESIDENCE @ BATTARAMULLA | Manjula Kalhara De Silva Architects

“They say the music is not in the notes, but in the silence between. Similarly, in spatial design, the beauty does not stem merely from the structure or the tangible elements. It is born from the emptiness that punctuates the space”. As the age-old saying conveys, first impressions are crucial. It is as truer for a home as it is for a person. This intriguing design employs a sequence of minimalist geometric shapes to escape the monotony of a singular plain façade and create a more three-dimensional and dynamic elevation. The simplicity of the design also ensures that it retains a sense of tranquility and graceful elegance. Conceptual Design portraying Luxury living and Minimalism. This House, in the heart of Battaramulla, impeccably balances the internal spaces with elegantly contrasting exterior elements. A contemporary home with cubic architecture, it employs a simple, linear design with minimum walls to create its inner spaces. Its interior is reflected in its exterior, and with the use of different depths, its facade is rendered aesthetically stimulating. In the interior as well as the exterior, the finishes are minimalist and incorporate a variety of earthy elements and color tones that introduce a relaxing and homely ambiance. Minimalist and captivating, this home is an amalgamation of cubic and modern vernacular architecture. The inclusion of large sliding doors, as well as the indoor courtyard complete with a reflecting pond, enhance the interplay between the inner spaces and nature, and will render the space more congruous with its tropical backdrop. -these houses are designed incorporating modern, minimalist, cubic architecture.
