Architects: Iconcast Chartered Architects
Location: Malabe, Sri Lanka
Project Year: 2021
Photographer: Ganidu Balasuriya
The site is a 19 perch land located in a residential suburb of Colombo. Despite its vicinity to green paddy fields; three sides of the site were contained by two storied houses and the access road was on the west face.
This was to become the home for a young family with working parents; both the owners drive to Colombo for work from their home at Malabe; and from the onset they wanted an extent of privacy that would still allow them to enjoy the outdoors. The site offered no direction to open the house out to yet its shape and size lent itself to the idea of a courtyard house.
