De Saram House by Geoffrey Bawa

Colombo, Sri Lanka

De Saram House er et hus af Geoffrey Bawa på Ward Place i Colombo 7, der forvaltes af Geoffrey Bawa Trust og tager imod et lille antal overnattende gæster.

I 1986 ombyggede Bawa her to små huse til ét hjem for Druvi og Sharmini de Saram. Druvi de Saram er en af de mest kendte pianister i Sri Lanka, og Bawa planlagde huset omkring et musikværelse i dets midte. I april 2019 overtog fonden huset efter at have restaureret det fuldstændigt sammen med familien de Saram.

Restaureringen bragte også kunst frem fra Bawas egen samling og fra familien de Sarams, herunder værker af '43 Group, de malere, der formede den moderne kunst i Sri Lanka i det 20. århundrede. Værkerne hænger rundt om i huset som en del af opholdet.

Værelserne omfatter:

Standard Queen Room
Deluxe King Room, med en hems, der nås ad en trappe
Deluxe Suite, også med hems
King Suite with Balcony

Godt at vide, før du booker:

Huset drives ikke som et almindeligt hotel. Der holdes små guidede rundvisninger efter aftale, men de omfatter kun gårdene og spiseområdet; opholdsrummene holdes private, mens der bor gæster i huset.
Der er trin overalt og meget få gelændere. Hemsene, King Suite with Balcony og Standard Queen Room kan ikke nås i kørestol.
Fotografering uden blitz er tilladt udendørs, kun til personligt brug.

Ward Place ligger midt i Colombo 7. Gallerier som Lionel Wendt Art Centre, Sapumal Foundation og Saskia Fernando Gallery ligger i gåafstand, ligesom Paradise Road, Odel, caféer og restauranter. Viharamahadevi Park og Nationalmuseet ligger tæt på.

Bawas eget hjem i Colombo, Number 11, ligger en kort køretur væk, og hans landsted Lunuganga ligger cirka to timer mod syd ved Bentota. Spørg os om at kombinere dem med en privat lufthavnstransfer.

Run by people who love what they do and treat you as visitors to a home, rather than guests in a hotel.

If you like G Bawa's architecture and love authenticity, you'll love this place. Exquisitely designed, quiet (it is set back from the road down a short drive) but what makes it really special is that it is run by people who love w…
