Tag: Barista

Barista, Sri Lanka’s largest café chain, stands out as a recognizable name in the country’s coffee culture. This particular project is located alongside the bustling Colombo–Kandy main road and involved the renovation of an existing 3,000 sqft space, spanning both ground and first floors, into a well-planned café and restaurant with dedicated dining, kitchen, and service zones.

Strategically located near the Dambulla expressway exit, the building’s roof is easily visible from the highway. It features a dark brown tone, complemented by a large Barista logo on top to attract attention. Given the area’s dry climate, the architect proposed integrating green tones indoors and enhancing the exterior with planting to highlight natural greenery in spaces like the car park and smoking area.
