Vijitha Basnayake, Sri Lanka

Vijitha Basnayake’s built works are notable for the processes engaged by the architect as well as their distinctive character shaped by a number of influences—his clients' aspirations and sensibilities, the site, local climatic conditions, Sri Lanka architectural traditions and, at times, an intention (that is both inventive and sensible) to reuse, reinterpret, and repurpose materials into suitable, if not quite exceptional, building systems, materials, and details.

Among his recent projects is a house for a professional woman, his own house, an antique shop, a timber pallet workshop, and twin houses (all in the Colombo metropolitan area), and a house in Galkadawala district.
