The State Mortgage Bank building in Colombo was designed by Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. It is located 120 meters south of the tip of Beira lake, adjacent to the northern edge of Hyde Park along TB Jayah Road, a secondary traffic artery in Colombo. The twelve-storey tower is the simple extrusion of an irregularly shaped floor plan. It spans sixty meters long and thirty meters wide at its widest points.The floor plan is roughly in the shape of a lozenge - a rhombus or diamond shape.
