THE SENSES Patterns & light shading & play of light private outdoors

Patterns & light 1. Patterns

can induce the notions and

subtleties of rhythm in a

space.

They

are

symbolic of a decoration and celebration of light and play.

The

artwork, especially in the

spaces of movement and circulation placed strategically can create the sense of museum showcasing obsessions of the ancestors

2. Patterns

of different scales can have a

great effect on the ambiance of the space.

We

indent to design surfaces that include

variations of light in specific patterns.

3. We hope to use patterns derived from sri lanka’s traditional folklore that offer an insight to guests about the traditions and art of the country.

shading & play of light 1. The PLAY of light is where the poetry lies. It is the ephemeral. Light can be a great stimulant to the overall effect of a space. It responds to material with great dynamism.

2. Here, different materials produce various interesting patterns. Walls and floors and ceilings participate in the play of light. Light engages these elements at different intensities

depending on the time of the day.

3. Trees and other elements in nature are also very crucial to the game. The sunlight passing through trees swaying in the breeze reflects the

dimension of time, instantly creating a

connection with the past.

private outdoors 1. Outdoor space with Living spaces

has a direct relationship

and luxury.

Spaces

that

offer a substantial visual stimulation are primary to the idea of luxury.

2. We

understand that

Luxury

and the need

for privacy go hand-in-hand.

We

like to

think of spaces as a reminder of the guests

own homes.

3. The control over sound and visual privacy is a theme that we can integrate into the architecture of the resort.

We

use different

materials to act in favour of various levels of acoustical as well visual screening.
