Floated House is a luxury residence built on a sloping land overlooking fascinating mountain views of Kandy. The living and dining space of the house is projected outwards from the sloped land and supported with a single column from bottom giving it the sensation of floating above the landscape.
Thilakawardhana Textiles is one of the most celebrated Sri Lankan fashion brands and their Kandy Department Store was designed to offer a novel retail experience to Kandyan shoppers. The design of the outlet was inspired by Kandyan period arts and crafts and the ‘Binara Flower’ motif from that period has been used as a design feature throughout the interior.
Amazon Teas is the owner of celebrated boutique tea brand ‘The English Tea Shop’ sold in many countries globally.
