Horizon at Hiriketiya

The Horizon is an exclusive family retreat located on the cliffs overlooking the picturesque Hiriketiya Bay in Sri Lanka, renowned for its stunning surf spots and emerald-blue waters. Designed for a prominent Sri Lankan business family, the house functions as a getaway for three generations, accommodating large family gatherings, vacations, and celebrations. At the heart of the home is the main pavilion, which houses the living, dining, and pantry areas. These spaces open to an infinity pool that seemingly hovers above the bay, offering dramatic views of sunrises, sunsets, and local wildlife. The pavilion’s green roof, complete with sunk seating, provides a tranquil spot to appreciate both the lush greenery and the expansive bay. A narrow, sunken corridor leads to the private bedroom wings, each with its own unique view of the bay. These wings are separated by courtyards, ensuring privacy and seclusion. Narrow steps from the bedrooms descend to the rocks and water below, offering direct access to the bay.The Horizon’s innovative design incorporates locally sourced materials and eco-friendly elements, blending modern living with sustainability. The home’s underground living spaces maximize privacy while maintaining unobstructed views. The result is a serene and luxurious retreat that harmonizes with its coastal environment, providing the perfect sanctuary for the family while respecting the natural beauty of Hiriketiya Bay.
