I like staying in this small lovely hotel which has been build by Geoffrey Bawa as a private house.

The atmosphere of quiet privacy is still there.

Complete serenity.  Did you have the whole place to yourself?  It looks deserted.

Great Photos, I was introduced to Bawa's architecture at university, I remember being impressed by how he incorporated the landscape and outdoor spaces into his designs. Hopefully i can make it to Sri Lanka some day to experience it in person.

I wish you'll do it soon,

If you need some contacts with srilankan architects like Anjalendran or Channa Daswatte, or artist like Laki Senanayake, all belonging to Bawa's friends, let me know.They all are lovely wonderful people.

A picture for you:
