The site was a 12.5 perch linear plot along a medium density residential lane in suburban Colombo; bounded on either side by multiple storey neighbouring blind walls. Site conditions determined the need for a row house. A design application became necessary to overcome the typical narrow row house typology with dark interiors resulting from the short frontage, long depth and common blind boundaries on either side.

Nestled beside the vibrant Nawala wetland, where wild lotus blooms and lush flora blend with diverse fauna, this residence stands as a testament to personalized elegance and harmony with nature. Designed with an unwavering focus on its inhabitants, the home seamlessly integrates with its picturesque surroundings.

Located by the side of the main Nawala road, the site is a naturally sloping one; with a higher elevation towards the main road and a lower elevation towards the rear of the land. The existing development had been planned thus, that the natural slope became an integral part of the design.
