Veranda when heliconia are cut down: 1.5° C warmer, more light. Genius: sliding louvers can be positioned to shade wherever you sit.

No-slip floor (similar to sandstone) - unlike on polished cement, terrazzo or glazed tiles, you won't fall and fracture your bones when you are rushing into to house, semi-wet, from the pool, when you are beyond 80 or had a few drinks too many. Don't laugh - it's important ...

Master bedroom. The door opens to a walk-in closet with dehumidifier. The three main bedrooms all come with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closet.

En-suite bathroom with bidet

Barrier-free shower with back-painted glass. Door opens to balcony with outdoor bath tub.

 

Enjoy a hot bath in complete privacy!

2nd bedroom, first floor - fully screened against insects

 

2nd bedroom with 300 cm wide sliding doors (glass, mosquito screen, louver) to the sculpture garden in the east

2nd bedroom on the first floor

Second bedroom's en-suite bathroom

No heliconia visible between veranda and garden

The infinity pool is 18 m long.

The house is elevated 100 cm. Here you see the Heliconia cut to almost lawn level.

 

 

Maybe you prefer this height?

Heliconia fully grown - which the present owners love best because it lowers the veranda temperature

Walls, covered with Thunbergia, Bougainvillea and other creepers, provide total privacy. No one can peep in. This property is a celebrity's dream!

 

The terrain is heavily terraced (photo= 2018) - but by now all levels are fully overgrown with trees (mango, lime, star fruit).

 

View on southgarden and toward Galle (15 km vista).
Tree tops get clipped every 3 years to avoid too large canopees (= preserving view, minimizing risk of trees and branches snapping during heavy winds)

 

All sliding elements can vanish into a wall pocket. The present owners rarely use this feature because the glass and louver element look very decorative when visible and create a more cosy atmosphere.

 

Throughout the day, more than half of the pool lies in the shade. Benefit: cooler water, less UV onto your skin, less chorine needed to keep water clean.

 

Stairwell made from Kumbuk hardwood
