Introduction
Located in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Noeline’s Extension and Renovation project undertaken by The Silent Architect aimed to enhance the architectural and commercial potential of the area while catering to the growing clientele. Situated in Stra3ord Avenue, Colombo 05, the project presented a unique opportunity to blend classical and modern architectural elements, drawing inspiration from Japanese and Scandinavian styles.
Architectural Potential
The project site, strategically positioned within the bustling cityscape, boasted carefully developed facades along Stra3ord Avenue. The architects recognized the architectural and commercial potential of the location, which served as a blending point between the modern classical street elevation and the general residential building line. This fusion of classical elements like arches with modern textures paved the way for a unique architectural expression.
Renovation and Expansion
Over a three-month period, the existing building underwent renovation and expansion, incorporating an additional steel structure. The choice of lightweight materials not only reduced construction time but also contributed to the creation of a feminine enclosure, fostering a sense of relaxation amidst the bustling city life. The color scheme and layout of the main areas were meticulously designed to evoke the ambiance of a resort, inviting patrons to unwind and rejuvenate.
Feminine Embodiment
Given the predominantly female clientele, the design focused on incorporating feminine features and creating a rhythm conducive to a resort-like environment. This strategic approach not only enhanced the overall aesthetic appeal but also contributed to a 40% increase in capacity, solidifying the establishment’s authentic style and stature in the field of architecture.
Conclusion
Noeline’s Extension and Renovation project by The Silent Architect represents a harmonious blend of classical and modern architectural elements, resulting in a serene and inviting space. By leveraging the architectural potential of the location and incorporating feminine features, the project successfully caters to the needs of its clientele while establishing itself as a distinguished architectural landmark in Colombo.
