Navigating Through The Storm

Development centre for Regenerative offshore aquaculture - Dikkowita

The coastal area of Dikkowita, Sri Lanka, has suffered from overfishing and the devastating effects of an explosion, leading to a depletion of ocean resources and loss of livelihoods for the fishing community. To address these challenges, a "Development Centre for Offshore Aquaculture" will be established

The center aims to promote sustainable fish farming practices, specifically offshore aquaculture, through education, demonstration, and community engagement. By revitalizing the fishing industry and fostering sustainability, the project seeks to create a resilient future for Dikkowita Year

Covid 19 Memorial Park - Maharagama

A COVID Memorial Park is a space designed for the general public, aiming to address the social consequences of the prolonged pandemic. Lasting over two years, the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased social isolation and a decline in social skills among individuals. The project's approach focuses on creating an inclusive space that encourages people to come together, interact, and rebuild their social skills. It incorporates key elements such as interactive spaces, blended buildings, open areas, and working spaces.

The design outcome is twofold: to provide a venue for practicing and enhancing social skills, thus reducing social stresses like anxiety and depression, and to offer a place for individuals to forge new friendships and improve their mental and physical well-being. The COVID Memorial Park acts as a response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, supporting human connection and well-being

House Option 2

Customized house for a couple - Anuradhapura

In this unique scenario where time and space have intertwined, we find ourselves in 2025, and it's our parents who are in their thirties again. As their newfound architect, we embark on a journey to design a home that truly reflects their professions and personal lifestyles. The husband, an archaeologist, and the wife, a violist, have inspired a design concept that celebrates water as a timeless element. This concept embraces the ancient creations that pay homage to water, translating them into contemporary works of art that beautifully harmonize their union.

The main elements guiding this design are minimalism, open space, and the incorporation of natural boulders. These elements combine to create a space that not only embodies their unique professions but also rekindles nostalgic feelings, all while fostering a deep connection between two beautiful souls. The house is a tribute to the magic of water and the love story of an archaeologist and a violist in this extraordinary parallel universe
