Colombo, Colombo & the West Coast, Sri Lanka

Tucked between the branches of a tall Bo tree and built into a corner of a garden of his friend Fernando's' house, also designed by Geoffery Bawa, The Tower sits at the heart of the Old City of Colombo. It is the prototype for Bawa's tropical urban designs. Spatially innovative and an example of a new 'stripped-down' aesthetic that would later reappear in Bawa's work with increasing frequency.

Tastefully refurbished today, the villa features a sprinkling of rare antique Ebony furniture and a few eclectic Modern pieces. The private villa is ideal for a couple or family of three, close to the city's heart and within minutes of Viharamahadevi Park, the Town Hall, major shopping precincts, and Odell and Restaurants.
