Oculus : Unfolding Journey to Water

The bamboo crafted Oculus invites creatives tor rejuvenate and synergize for a meditative stay in the tropics of Sigiriya valley Sri Lanka. It is a journey of unfolding into the forested valley and pristine water streams and falls of the region. The multidirectional bamboo shell captures breathtaking views with uninterrupted flow of wind and light. The double decked structure facilitates private living and mezzanine workspace on the upper level and public interaction in the ground level. The aim of such a crafted shell is to create fluid and democratic spaces for travelers to interact meditate exchange ideas and live in harmony.
