“URBAN OASIS” exemplifies an innovative approach to compact urban living. Situated on a 7-perch (177 sq.m.) plot in Thalawathugoda, Sri Lanka, this house is designed to achieve an impressive sense of spaciousness and greenery within a limited land area.

The intent of the project was to explore the potential of compact living; seeking freedom from preconceived notions of a house. The focal point of the land is an old “kaju” tree growing in the centre; the topography of the land was mainly left untouched with the existing vegetation.
