There’s a new blog in town, called SustainableModern and we really like it. This five-person team of architects and designers focuses on both eco-friendliness AND modern design.

Their latest post is about the Kandalama hotel, designed in 1991 by acclaimed Sri Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa – a principal force behind the architectural movement, dubbed ‘tropical modernism.

The tropical hideaway of the Kandalama Hotel allows visitors to explore the many wonders of Sri Lanka.



This modern eco hotel is designed to blend into the jungle with a green roof and planted facade.

Tucked away in a virgin tropical jungle overlooking the Kandalama tank and the range of knuckles hills, lies Kandalama Hotel occupying one of the most exotic sites in the heart of the Cultural Triangle.

Archaeological, cultural and wildlife interests a bound. Tropical jungles, calm waters and the mountain rock countryside of Kandalama offer the eco-friendly visitor natural absolute luxury.
