Architectural Zen oasis amidst the congested surroundings

The recent house renovation done by architect Damith Premathilake could be perceived as a spatial composition in Zen. The spaces are evocative of ritualistic living. The interiors are carefully crafted to create spaces of art and inspire creative habitation. It is intimate yet seems open and spacious. It is remarkable given all the major problems associated with the existing house how the architect has transformed the house into a little gem.
