Wooden house on stilts in Sri Lanka
Situated on top of a hill, between the jungle andrubber plantation, this timber house on stilts was built to take full advantage of the unique site. Built in 2009 by architect Narein Perera in the resort area of Kalutara, Sri Lanka, the timber house on stilts echoes the traditional architecture of the area.The owner who ordered the house project had severalbasic requirements. The bungalow was intended to be rented out to people taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, which meant that the design of the building should only enhance the relaxing atmosphere of the surrounding nature. And secondly, the owner really wanted to be able to view the entire territory of his property from the top floor of the house, which is no less than 72 hectares!The bungalows were built usingsteel, wood and bamboo. The natural materials are intended to emphasize the connection of the house with the surrounding nature and visually soften the presence of metal piles. On three levels there are three small bedrooms with bathrooms, as well as a common open living room for all guests. The housekeeper's house with a kitchen is located lower on the hill, under the spreading crowns of trees, it is completely invisible to the inhabitants of the bungalow.It was important for the architect to create a woodena house on stilts that seems to float above the treetops and only slightly touches the ground. Thanks to steel supports and beams, the desired result was successfully achieved.And although residents of megacities, as a rule, do not havesuch a magnificent view of the endless wild forests and mountains, everyone can still create their own little jungle on the balcony. And for this, it is very convenient to make balconies with an extension, due to which you can increase the usable area.
