Ena de Silva’s amazing house is remarkable for two reasons, the first being that it was designed and built by Sri Lanka’s famed architect Geoffrey Bawa, lauded as the Father of Tropical Modernism. The second is that it wasn’t always where it is now, having been moved brick by brick, stone by stone, tile by tile—and with lots of tender loving care—from the Colombo suburb of Cinnamon Gardens to its present location. As Aljazeera online reports: “The house…had been created for the artist and designer Ena de Silva and her husband Osmund in 1960 by Geoffrey Bawa, a man now widely acknowledged as the foremost architect of his generation in Sri Lanka, if not in all of South Asia.” #SriLanka #GeoffreyBawa
