Known for his design excellence in sustainable designs, Kandy-based renowned architect Laxman Egodawatta’s expertise in planning, feasibility and construction management is legendary
How did you get into architecture?
I had a strong passion for architecture from a young age. I was deeply moved by how it made an impact on people’s lives. Inspired by the power of architecture to empower people, I was motivated to pursue architecture. After graduating, I started working towards building my own practice. I have now more than thirty years of experience.
What kind of projects is your forte?
The meda midula or courtyard found in traditional Sri Lankan architecture had always captivated me. Taking on projects that strive to bring the freedom of the outdoors into the indoors has allowed me to inculcate an environmental sensibility into modern lifestyle. This has allowed me to develop designs based on the symbiosis of the built environment and nature, paving the way towards a responsible and sustainable design ethic.
