Middle Street is located in the Galle Fort. The basic form of the original house was more or less intact, especially the main entrance façade. Its simple decorative distempered limestone walls and pivot timber glazed shutters were retained. This original façade enclosed the street side veranda and acted as a sound baffle from the outside world. The client wanted to create a house that was classic and clean-lined in composition. The internal layout and new colonnaded verandas are in balance, reminiscent of the British Colonial era. The house is simple yet sophisticated, well proportioned and finely detailed. A plunge pool and a yoga sun terrace enjoy a private location on the first floor.
