Our clients, a jolly family, approached us with a unique design brief - to create a home that could accommodate their family, serve as an Airbnb rental, and host gatherings and parties. They wanted a space that was open, airy, and designed to foster togetherness and connection. With a focus on functionality, versatility, and modern aesthetics, we set out to create a home that would meet their unique needs.

The house is designed as a porous steel structure that offers plenty of natural light and ventilation. The central staircase serves as the heart of the home, connecting all floors and creating a sense of flow and movement throughout the space. This custom staircase is designed by Ranjith Wijegunasekara, a renowned Sri Lankan structural engineer. This floating staircase features a steel structure and is suspended to allow for the spaces underneath to be used and experienced. It not only enhances functionality but also serves as a sculptural centerpiece of the house.

The multipurpose rooms are designed to be flexible, accommodating the family's needs and allowing for easy entertaining. The balconies and terraces are strategically placed to take advantage of the stunning forest views and create inviting outdoor spaces.
