At Ishara Homes, we are dedicated to creating exceptional living spaces that harmonize with their surroundings. Laurels House, situated in the picturesque area of Pallekele, Kandy, exemplifies this philosophy. This four-story modern box-type house, designed on an 11-perch sloped land, presents a unique blend of contemporary architecture and natural beauty.
Project Overview: Embracing the Landscape
Designing Laurels House posed an interesting challenge due to the steep slope of the land. However, we saw this as an opportunity to incorporate the existing terrain into our design, resulting in a stunning and functional home that maximizes the breathtaking mountain views and the serene garden vistas. With a floor area of 4,525 square feet, we ensured that every square inch is thoughtfully utilized for comfort and convenience.
Key Features:
- Location: Pallekele, Kandy, a region known for its stunning landscapes and lush greenery.
- Land Size: 11 perches, providing ample space for a family.
- Floor Area: 4,525 sq. ft. of modern living space spread across four levels.
- Style: Modern box-type architecture that blends with the natural surroundings.
- Views: Beautiful mountain and garden views that enhance the home’s ambiance.
A Thoughtfully Designed Multi-Level Layout
We aimed to create a home that not only meets the needs of a modern family but also embraces the surrounding landscape. Each floor of Laurels House is designed to provide both functionality and comfort, making it an ideal setting for family living.
Ground Floor: Welcoming Spaces
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a spacious living area that sets the tone for relaxation and comfort. The open-plan design flows seamlessly into the dining and kitchen areas, creating an inviting space for family gatherings and entertaining guests. Large windows allow natural light to flood these areas, connecting the indoor spaces with the beautiful garden outside.
Bedrooms: Private Retreats
The house features four well-appointed bedrooms, each designed with privacy and comfort in mind. The master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, while the additional bedrooms share two modern bathrooms. Every room is strategically placed to take advantage of the mountain views, ensuring that the family can wake up to breathtaking scenery every day.
Additional Amenities: Functionality Meets Comfort
In addition to the main living spaces, we incorporated several essential amenities that enhance the functionality of Laurels House:
- A study room for quiet work or study sessions.
- A servant’s room with a dedicated bathroom, providing added convenience for larger families.
- A TV lobby for family entertainment and relaxation.
- A roof terrace that serves as a perfect outdoor gathering spot, allowing the family to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery.
Architectural Style: Modern Meets Natural
The architectural style of Laurels House is a modern box design that complements the natural beauty of Pallekele. We chose an exterior that features clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic, ensuring the house blends seamlessly into the mountainous landscape. The use of natural materials and thoughtful landscaping further enhances the connection between the home and its environment.
Embracing the Slope
Designing on a sloped land can be challenging, but we embraced this aspect by incorporating it into our design. The multi-level layout allows for creative use of space, and each level has its unique charm. The roof terrace serves as an extension of the living space, providing a perfect location for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, or simply enjoying the serene environment.
Garden Integration
We placed great emphasis on integrating the house with its garden surroundings. The lush greenery surrounding Laurels House creates a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. We designed ample outdoor spaces for children to play and for the family to enjoy nature, enhancing the overall living experience.
