Geoffrey Bawa Works Day Tour

Tour overview

Geoffrey Bawa remains Sri Lanka’s most celebrated architect, and this day traces his work from Colombo through to Lunuganga, the garden estate he shaped over five decades into one of the most extraordinary tropical landscape designs in Asia. His buildings blend indoor and outdoor space in a way that fundamentally shaped how Sri Lankan hospitality architecture looks today. A specialist design guide draws out the specific techniques and philosophy behind his work at each stop. Lunuganga requires advance booking and cannot be visited as a walk-in.
