Tucked away from the world surrounded by wilderness, Villa Vista is a stunning contemporary villa built on a hillock overlooking the Weligama Bay in the South. Designed by world renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize winning, Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban, the villa is a highlight in modern architecture emphasizing space, natural light and breeze. Built of concrete, local teak and coconut leaves, the villa is a multi-level, open-air structure composed of a series of platforms accessed by stairs. It’s designed to take in the sights of the ocean, cliffs and the jungle and uses the intersecting panels of the floors, walls and ceilings to frame three different views. The villa has a 60ft infinity pool overlooking the garden and Weligama bay with a moving platform that slides across the pool. The first view is of the ocean seen from the jungle in the valley, the second is a spectacular view of the Weligama bay from the living area and the last is of the cliff. Unlike traditional villas, the living area is open and faces an infinity pool with stunning views over the bay and the distant hills.
