This ongoing house is located in Kurunegala, a city which is surrounded by one of the largest rocks in Sri Lanka and carries a valuable historical background. With related to the macro context, the house is designed responding the major issue, which is the hot temperature of the city. The design elements were specifically inspired by the historical backgrounds in the city. This is designed to a young couple, one is a contemporary artist and the other is a photographer in profession.

Material selection were to suit the simple lifestyle of the client with close connection to the natural environment while keeping with the cost of the project minimum. Focused on low maintenance and specially considering the clients aesthetic sensibilities.

Most of the main spaces are wrapped up with hollow bricks. This creates breathing air voids, which automatically make microclimate cooler within the house. The entire house is passively ventilated. The surrounded brick, earth colors and internal gardens bring a feeling of a private oasis inside.
