Sri Lanka | Bawa No. 11: Beautiful from Every Angle

No. 11 in Colombo is the private residence of Geoffrey Bawa. After 30 years of renovation, you can explore the inspiration behind Bawa's various designs in this small "museum" with its maze-like design, and experience the fusion of local architecture and exotic features.

Bawa creatively uses geometric elements such as triangles, and uses different basic materials such as bricks, metal, and cement to shape the space. The light and shadow give the building a mysterious color. The furniture inside the building is also designed by him, reflecting the combination of new vision and traditional materials.
