- **Event Description**: Visit this homestudio in Hokandara as part of Open House Colombo 2026.About this EventJC Rathnayake’s artist retreat on the edge of the Pittugala paddy fields is a truly collaborative effort. Working closely with Palinda Kannangara Architects, JC and his wife, Thanuja, a printmaker, were involved in the design and construction of the property throughout the process. Built on a sloping plot, the retreat includes the family residence, an art gallery, and a studio composed of a series of layered courtyards. The spaces are clean and cool with voids in the exterior brickwork, allowing air to flow freely throughout.The property is designed to meet the lifestyle of the artists, with spaces for work and relaxation that offer opportunities for solitary reflection, family time, and entertaining. On the ground floor, with views into the gardens and paddy fields, sits the studio space. Its high ceilings and ample storage are designed to accommodate Rathnayake’s large-scale paintings. The lack of doors encourages a cooling breeze through the studio, and shade is provided by the courtyard gardens and the inclining terrain of the land. On the upper floors, three bedrooms are positioned around a pond filled with lilies and freshwater fish.Visitors to the property will find a wholly unique retreat that is a personal reflection of the family who live and work within it. In addition to employing local workmen and commissioning handcrafted pieces, the artists put their own work into the site, adapting, modifying, and crafting pieces to fit their home.Address: 311/1/4 Boralugoda Road, HokandaraGoogle map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XsvoBWvEvhS2bhMu6Image © Sebastian Posingis

To improve the information available on these five architects in the digital sphere, a Wiki-edit-a-thon will be hosted at the De Saram House by Geoffrey Bawa, followed by an Open House Colombo event to visit and experience some of their key buildings. The programme ends with a series of workshops and a public exhibition of reinterpretations or analyses of these buildings through architectural model making. Stay tuned for updates!"
