Stone N String is a renowned retail business specialized in Designer Jewelry, Precious & Semi Precious Jewelry in Sri Lanka. The 11 storied Stone N String houses the showroom, factory, accommodation and offices.The building is the first ever steel shell construction multi story building in Sri Lanka. Built on a rigid urban site, the building takes a strip formation in line with the shape of the site, with the exterior relating to an urban wall. Decorative elements have been avoided conforming to simplicity and to give prominence to signage as a means of advertising.

Scanwell, located overlooking the Beira Lake, is six floors with two levels of vehicular parking and the others housing their head office. The building captures the scenic view of the lake and surroundings. The façade to the lakefront, with green troughs, becomes a green wall with time. The entrance is contained within a projected cantilever and the floors above are held through a suspended steel bracing which transfers the loads to the structure.

The corporate office of the publishers of the renowned journal The Lanka Monthly Digest and Living Magazine is situated amidst a residential setting in Colombo, a moderately built up area with much greenscape. The inspiration was derived from the setting, to create the feeling of one “working in a garden” centered on the lush green residential setting to add not an alien but an element to the context. The building was proposed as a transparent envelope that interconnects with the surrounding.

Matara Town Center & Bus Terminal Development is a pioneering project undertaken by the government in the transport sector, as a modern Bus Parking facility to suit future transport needs of the South. Located in the southern coastal belt, the Terminal is for 35 private and public transport buses, an overlay Bus Park for an additional 27, and a commercial area for 105 Shops, a Restaurant, and a Bank. The concept was the culmination of aesthetics, conservation requirements, and user needs, to enhance the micro urban environment, and the streetscape of a rather uninteresting and a drab neighborhood of Matara. With easy access from all directions, the Terminal is sandwiched between busy traffic routes on 2 sides and the sea. Pedestrian accessibility from several directions has been a major criterion in the design. The Bridge over Tangalle River and the Ramparts of the old Matara Fort has been the generator of the form and the details.The design was awarded the ‘Sanstha (Holcim) Award’ for this Project by Holcim for Socially Responsive Architecture.

The project includes a Terminal for 15 Private and Public transport buses, an Overlay Bus Park for an additional 7, and Commercial area for 62 Shops with all amenities and facilities. The project is also to ensure an up-to-date Bus Parking facility to suit future transport design requirements. The total area of the building is approximately 537500m 2 in extent and covers 8096.65m 2 of Land. The conceptual Roof design was a culmination of aesthetics and user needs to enhance the micro urban environment and the streetscape of a rather uninteresting and a drab neighborhood of Ambalangoda. The building is linked for pedestrians from the Railway Station and to other Transportation Nodes such as the secondary Bus Terminal situated on the Old Galle Road. The transit of commuters from one mode to another has been made convenient and their safety has been considered to be of paramount importance.The design confirms to the Safety Regulations of “Traffic in Safe Cities- Convention 1989”.
