Destaques

When the late Geoffrey Manning Bawa entered the world of architecture, he made his mark with every design he produced. Exploring modernism and its cultural implications, he created unique designs that were recognized by architects across the world. The result of these works made him the principal force behind the global concept of “tropical modernism”. As Sri Lanka’s most influential architect, Sir Bawa built houses, hotels, schools, offices and government buildings including the Sri Lankan Parliament Building. In this day tour, we will show you around some of his brilliant works (in Colombo and along the southern coast) that are still intact about 15 years after his passing.

  1. A beautiful garden retreat in Bentota – a piece of work that Bawa cherished throughout his life and continued to develop for about 50 years. It was one of his personal projects which turned in to a boutique hotel and is now a dream fantasy for many to have the opportunity to stay in one of the lovely suites here.

  2. In 1979 Geoffrey Bawa was summoned by the president JR Jayawardana who commissioned him to design a new Parliment on the spot. With the proposed location at Kotte, Bawa's idea was to have the new parliment sit an island amidst an artificial lake.

  3. Once upon a time, the office of Geoffrey Bawa, is now transformed into one of the leading restaurants in Colombo. The symbols of his brand remain strong here – open pavilions, courtyards with pillars, ponds and walkways. In addition to providing a unique dining experience, The Gallery Café is also an art gallery where the creative talents of young artists are exhibited.

  4. The residence of Geoffrey Bawa is an architectural marvel where art and artifacts from his collection are displayed. Within this residence are two bedrooms on the 1st floor which are attached and share one bathroom and a sitting room. The 3rd floor is a verandah and the 4th is an open viewing deck. Only one party can rent out the rooms at a time and this residence is also open for public viewing only by appointment.

About Colombo

Colombo, a maior cidade e capital comercial do Sri Lanka, reúne edifícios coloniais, templos budistas, mercados animados e um passeio marítimo.

Galle Face Green, um longo relvado à beira-mar, enche-se de famílias, pessoas a fazer voar papagaios e bancas de comida de rua quando o sol se põe sobre o Oceano Índico. Perto, o distrito do Forte conserva edifícios coloniais como o antigo Hospital Holandês, restaurado como lojas e restaurantes, e a mesquita Jami Ul-Alfar, de riscas vermelhas e brancas, ergue-se sobre as apinhadas ruas comerciais de Pettah.

Top-ranked sights in Colombo: Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green, Independence Square.
