设计特色：

项目 – 斯里兰卡建筑事务所Dishna Thilanka Architects完成了一座穿梭于树木之间的私人住宅和艺术工作室，创造出建筑形态与自然环境之间的和谐对话。该建筑位于马哈拉加马城市边缘的博拉莱斯加穆瓦，既是一位知名雕塑家的住宅，也是其创作空间。

该工作室的设计方法优先考虑被动式制冷策略和环境融合，打造出一个生态足迹最小化而自然通风最大化的亭台式建筑。建筑物经过精心的太阳能导向设计，并战略性地使用水景，在不依赖机械制冷系统的情况下，为室内维持舒适的温度。

这个项目的独特之处在于其精致的材料搭配，呼应了艺术家的雕塑作品——结合了肌理水泥、天然木材、花岗岩和金属，创造出原始而精致的美感。一层的石材墙面仿佛从景观中自然生长而出，而战略性布置在场地各处的水体既改善了微气候，又提升了感官体验。

建筑师运用了线性平面和立方体相交的几何语言，创造出清晰的线条，与保留下来的自然植被形成对比。这种建筑构图允许开放式平面布局，消除了室内外空间的界限，让艺术家能够直接观察到激发其创作灵感的自然环境。

值得注意的是，该项目展示了当代建筑如何在保持设计卓越性的同时应对斯里兰卡城市热岛效应的挑战。通过保护成熟树木、整合太阳能面板等可持续特征，以及创造有益的微气候，使这座住宅成为环保城市发展的典范，同时又不影响美学品质和功能需求。

团队 – 成立于2018年，Dishna Thilanka建筑事务所（DTA）已成为斯里兰卡当代建筑领域的一个独特声音。这家位于科伦坡的事务所由首席建筑师Dishna Thilanka领导，采用多学科方法，将艺术感性与技术精确性融为一体。

该事务所的设计理念以创造超越纯功能性的氛围建筑为核心，这受到Thilanka在美术和音乐方面背景的影响。这种跨学科视角塑造了他们的作品组合，范围涵盖从私密住宅项目到大型商业开发项目。

现有核心团队包括结构工程师Supun Lokuge，他在创新结构解决方案方面带来专业知识，并配有合格的工料测量师和专业建筑绘图员。这种协作结构使DTA能够提供全面的设计解决方案，在美学追求与技术可行性之间取得平衡。

DTA的作品以其对环境融合、可持续设计实践和本地材料的深思熟虑运用为特征。他们最近的Path艺术家个人住宅项目体现了他们对环境敏感型建筑的方法，展示了建筑如何在回应气候和文化的同时推动当代设计的边界。

该事务所继续扩大其在南亚建筑领域的影响力，其项目持续挑战热带现代主义的传统方法。

Feature：

Project - Sri Lankan architecture firm Dishna Thilanka Architects has completed a residence and art studio that weaves through existing trees, creating a harmonious dialogue between built form and nature. Located in Boralesgamuwa, on the urban fringe of Maharagama, the 3,149-square-foot building serves as both home and creative workspace for a prominent metal sculptor.

The studio's approach prioritizes passive cooling strategies and environmental integration, resulting in a pavilion-style structure that minimizes its ecological footprint while maximizing natural ventilation. The building's careful solar orientation and strategic use of water features contribute to maintaining comfortable interior temperatures without relying on mechanical cooling systems.

What sets this project apart is its sophisticated material palette that mirrors the artist's sculptural work – combining textured cement, natural wood, granite, and metal to create a raw yet refined aesthetic. The ground floor's stone-clad walls appear to emerge from the landscape, while water bodies strategically placed throughout the site enhance both the microclimate and sensory experience.

The architects employed a geometric language of intersecting linear planes and cubes, creating clean lines that contrast with the organic forms of the preserved vegetation. This architectural composition allows for an open-plan layout that dissolves boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, providing the artist with direct visual access to the natural surroundings that inspire their work.

Notably, the project demonstrates how contemporary architecture can respond to Sri Lanka's urban heat island challenges while maintaining design excellence. The preservation of mature trees, integration of sustainable features like solar panels, and the creation of a beneficial microclimate make this residence a model for environmentally conscious urban development, without compromising on aesthetic sophistication or functional requirements.

Design Team - Founded in 2018, Dishna Thilanka Architects (DTA) has emerged as a distinctive voice in Sri Lanka's contemporary architectural landscape. The Colombo-based practice, led by Principal Architect Dishna Thilanka, BSc.Arch (Hons) AIA SL, brings together a multidisciplinary approach that merges artistic sensibility with technical precision.

The firm's design philosophy centers on creating atmospheric architecture that transcends mere functionality, influenced by Thilanka's background in fine arts and music. This cross-disciplinary perspective has shaped their portfolio, which spans from intimate residential projects to large-scale commercial developments.

The current core team includes Structural Engineer Supun Lokuge, BSc.Eng.(Hons), who brings expertise in innovative structural solutions, complemented by qualified quantity surveyors and specialized architectural drafters. This collaborative structure enables DTA to deliver comprehensive design solutions that balance aesthetic ambition with technical feasibility.

DTA's work is characterized by its emphasis on environmental integration, sustainable design practices, and the thoughtful use of local materials. Their recent Path Art Studio and Personal Residence project exemplifies their approach to context-sensitive architecture, demonstrating how buildings can respond to both climate and culture while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.

The practice continues to expand its influence in South Asian architecture, with projects that consistently challenge conventional approaches to tropical modernism.
