LEGENDARY SRI LANKA BEACH HOTEL DESIGNED BY GEOFFREY BAWA TO BE DEMOLISHED An iconic beach hotel designed by legendary Sri Lanka architect Geoffrey Bawa, renowned as the ‘father of tropical modernism’, is to be pulled down and rebuilt. The masterpiece Bentota Beach, commissioned by the Sri Lankan government in the 1960s to replace an old rest house, reflects both ancient Sinhalese architecture as well as the colonial Dutch fortification on the site. Mirror Business reports JKH Leisure Industry President Krishan Balendra as saying: “The hotel was getting old. But the centre block, which is the Bawa block, will be rebuilt in exactly the same way.” Click below for more. #SriLanka #BentotaBeachHotel #Bentota #GeoffreyBawa
