K House by Norm Architects
AIM Architecture and Norm Architects have completed an exclusive villa resort 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.
Description
Located in the southern part of Sri Lanka, K House is a secluded beach front property surrounded by lush greenery and breath-taking views.
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, provid-ing 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.
Due to the warm and pleasant climate, the architecture can blend into the nature using soft tran-sitions. There are outdoor living and dining spaces, porches, with switching levels defining thresh-olds between them. Large sliding doors open up key spaces to the garden....
