Five storey building facade construction 
​
Compleated
​

 

This commercial building located on High-Level road Nugegoda, Colombo, is a major facade renovation and addition to an existing dilapidated concrete four-story structure. The new façade maximizes the levels by zoning the building to create mixed-use and the commercial shop in front to attract potential customers to the interior tenancies. The tenancies include offices, a gym, retail shops, supermarkets and classrooms for private tutoring.

​

The design approach was to exhibit some of the internally integrated retail spaces into the streetscape by maximizing commercial value as well as creating a unique façade to the exterior. The right hand of the building is refaced with toughen glass from the ground to the top level and the left-hand side of the building cladding with Alucobond custom designed profiles. The decorative building skin was designed as a sunshade to avoid harsh sunlight that comes from the west but maximize the exposure to the busy street.
