Altair Project Film, Colombo, Sri Lanka

This new mixed-use development in the rapidly urbanizing city of Colombo is part of a larger plan by Sri Lanka’s urban development agency to create a lakefront promenade. The 69-story development fronts Beira Lake, a manmade lake in the center of the city. The 400-unit residential complex takes full advantage of the relatively small site with a highly rationalized structure that affords every unit cross-ventilation and multiple exposures.
