RECYCLING AND ARCHITECTURE

people should be more closer to the environment. though we have done many mistakes in the past it is really required to return the energy that we have consumed or preserve them at this moment of time than letting it flow in to the environment.

as a developing nation we are really love to get the best and this would create a vital increase in the energy consumption. Today literally every nation in an financial crisis and seeking for quality solutions to enhance their environment too.

though our attitudes draw us back it is really important to see the real ground issues than living in a fantasy world.

DECORATE YOUR GARDEN WITH YOUR OWN WASTE_REGIFORM POT

This inspiration we found in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Kahawita De Silva, who are architects by profession. This is one of the beautiful plants in the garden and which is really interesting here is that the container of the growing plants and we found in a corner of their garden without any prominence given to it.

Today we can get the inspiration and develop this further to prevent or to minimize the damage course by us to the Mother Nature. This reveas the sensitivity of them to their environment. We believe our environment could be much greater if we start looking for inspirations than watching for substances.

A Sustainable Construction

Seventy percent use of recyclable materials in a building

“We have used almost 70 per cent of recycled building materials, traditional clay apart from limited concrete usage on essential points. Timber, door frames, windows and most of the furniture are made from recycled materials, saving the limited resources we have on this planet,” Maulie explained.

Design
The structure and more appliances and elements in the design are made out of bamboo in various shapes and lengths. Lamp shades stools worktops and even door panels are such.Careful detailing is improved to use bamboo in various compositions with special thought given to fix details and methods.

This is done while not compromising on the distinct of the quality of bamboo and its surface textures. Hence every attempt is made to expose bamboo in its pure, natural form.The structure exudes openness around the spaces; expect for a few cubicles for the service areas such as toilet and kitchen.

Those areas too are designed with air gaps on the top to facilitate unobstructed air flow. Monaragala has an arid hot climate and ample air movement through space is most welcome.The entire structure is raised above ground. These allows for minimum intervention on ground water floor and other vegetation and in addition, keeps away the creepy crawlies abundant in the area, from entering the cafe's interior.

The roof, also made of bamboo has a slight slope to allow rainwater to drain off effectively.The service areas are the only areas lined with cement and they are built to prevent prolonged moisture from coming in to direct contact with bamboo.
