MRNTCP is a diversified setting providing studios, business, residential and leisure opportunities, with other necessary facilities and amenities for production of movies. It is designed to espouse modernity whilst maintaining a Sri Lankan identity; an identity created within built forms sensitive to the scale and fabric of the surrounding neighbourhood, while also offering a distinctive architectural addition to it. The numerous buildings are designed in close harmony with nature, safeguarding the natural habitat of the site, as a civilized wilderness, an assemblage of tropical plants of different scale and texture, a composition of green on green, an ever changing play of light and shade.
The sensitivity to the environment is reflected in careful attention to the sequencing of space, the creation of vistas, courtyards, and walkways, the use of materials and treatment of details. The 14 Acre self contained land is the location for all buildings. The accommodation areas and restaurants, which are public and semi-public in nature, are planned towards the rear in order to maintain privacy. All buildings and their exteriors can be ‘Sets’, with an identity.
