7 top things to see and do in Colombo, Sri Lanka - SilverKris

"The former home of a leading Sri Lankan architect (occupied 1960–1970) is open for guided tours; located as one of a row of four small houses on a short cul-de-sac, the building showcases signature design touches such as plentiful courtyards and verandas and a stark white palette, making it a treat for architecture enthusiasts and Instagrammers." - CHARUKESI RAMADURAI

The Bawa Mansion is well preserved, and the administrator is very happy to assist with exploration and explanations. After a basic explanation of each location, you can ask him about the part you are interested in. The tour fee is 5000KLR per person. Suggestions for improving the video playback room:The film is a bit old, which adds to the retro feel, but it needs better picture and sound quality. The chairs are not sturdy enough to allow me to sit down and relax completely.

Absolutely beautiful hidden gem in Colombo! My 3rd time here and it’s so worth it. The rooms are booked till 2026 but you can still visit the property and explore the house with the knowledgeable curator. Best to buy tickets in advance but you can via their WhatsApp or the website.

a stunning home; the tour is rather short / has limited interaction considering how much you would pay (assuming you’re a foreigner), but I suppose you take away from it what you will. I had a pleasant time learning from our tour guide, who has been employed at the residence for 15 years, and is an expert in his own right. I visited at 10am on a Monday and our group had about 15 pax.

Great experience! Visiting the master architects home and the guide was quite thorough as well. A sort of must visit for architects and people into architecture.

I spent a magical day fulfilling my long-held dream of staying at Number 11. I will never forget Mr. Rohana’s warm and gracious hospitality. I will definitely visit again next year. ❤️

A very beautifully designed home by Sri Lanka’s preeminent architect. A comprehensive tour with a knowledgeable docent. Should not be missed if you are in Colombo.

— If you’ve got a few days in Colombo, this is a short tour worth visiting especially if you’re into art & architecture. Geoffrey Bawa’s No 11 house served as his residential home in Colombo and this space is well-preserved to reflect his style in the design of the house and his expansive art collection. Joined the tour here in August 2024 with three other visitors, paid 5000 LKR via credit card payment. (Photos by @annopano)

An amazing and beautiful paradise, full of magic and wonder. Serene, architecturally fascinating . A big tribute to everyone at Teardrop who runs the place and offers such solace and solid perfection.
