A Spacious Modern Residence in Maharagama
Located along Katuwawala Road in Maharagama, the Bandara Residence was designed around the client’s desire for a more spacious and open family home with a strong modern character.
With a total floor area of approximately 3,650 sq.ft. and an estimated construction value of LKR 32 Million, the residence combines generous living spaces, tall doors and windows, and a distinctive double-height volume to create a bright and spacious interior.
Designed Around Space & Natural Light
A key requirement of the project was to create a home that feels significantly more spacious. This is reflected in the large living area, generous openings and the double-height space, which adds both visual volume and a stronger sense of openness.
The client also requested a predominantly white colour palette, giving the interior a clean, contemporary character while allowing natural light to become an important part of the overall atmosphere.
Ground Floor
The ground floor brings together the main living spaces and includes:
- Living area
- Dining area
- Open kitchen
- Verandah
- Master bedroom with closet
- Storage area
- Servant’s bedroom
- Toilet
- Garage
- Long courtyard
The long courtyard provides an important connection between the interior spaces and the outdoors, while the open kitchen and generous living areas support a more connected family living experience.
First Floor
The first floor provides additional family and private spaces, including:
- TV area
- Study area
- Two bedrooms
- Balcony
- Bathroom
- Terraces
The upper-level balcony and terraces extend the living experience outdoors while complementing the spacious character of the residence.
A Modern Home Built Around the Client's Vision
The Bandara Residence reflects a clear and focused design brief: more space, more natural light and a strong modern architectural identity.
From its tall openings and expansive living area to the dramatic double-height space and long courtyard, each element contributes to the feeling of openness requested by the client.
The result is a contemporary family home that combines practical planning with a clean, spacious and light-filled architectural character.
