Concept Store for Shanthi Plastics, Sri Lanka

The building was designed as the flagship concept store for the leading plastic importer in Sri Lanka.In line with the coloured plastics the company is famous for importing to Sri Lanka, the building was given a colourfull facade similar to a giant colour card by the introduction of numerous lip walls on either side of series of narrow linear aluminium framed glazed windows, painted different colours. Ground and First Floors were completely glazed using double height tempered glass, so that at night the interior of the concept store will glow like a lantern. The Building is located on a corner block, bounded by a main arterial road and a side road of Colombo Suburb Nugegoda. as a response to the corner block situation the double height entrance was positioned in the corner between both roads.
