AIM Architecture and Norm Architects have completed an exclusive villa resort, the K House, in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka – a secluded beach front property surrounded by exotic vegetation and stri-king views, with the architecture effortlessly blending in to the nature with large openings, soft transitions and natural materials.
The exclusive villa resort is comprised of two individual buildings; the east house placed atop a hilly part of the property, opening up to the sea, and the west house slightly tucked away, providing a more sheltered feel. Together the two form an L-shape, framing the garden and centrally placed pool area. The barn-like structure effortlessly blends into the landscape, enclosing the out-door common areas while framing the general view towards the sea.
The architecture is composed of natural materials; local teak wood, polished terrazzo, facades of polished cement and outdoor areas of local granite stone. The roof is made of recycled terracotta tiles which complements the overall natural look and tactile feel of the house.
Bespoke furniture include the inbuilt sofa in the luxurious lounge area and the headboards that continue along the wall to function as seating and/or table tops in the bedrooms. A combination of these bespoke modern minimal pieces alongside other locally sourced antique furniture and accessories creates a familiar yet native atmosphere.
