INTRODUCTION
Name:House for Dr. Bartholomeusz
Location:Colombo, Sri Lanka
Architect:Geoffrey Bawa
Client:Edwards, Ried, and Begg
Date:1961-1963 (20th Century)
Building Usage:Office building/ Complex & Private Residence
"The office had originally been planned as a doctor's house, but by
the time the foundations had grown to ground level he had decided
to stay where he was and Bawa was able to buy the property and to
convert it into an office. Thus, the original spaces were transformed
to suit the architect's convenience: kitchen into accounts office,
quantity surveying in the pantry, the three upstairs bedrooms into
one main drawing room - lying between the two courtyards - into
the main meeting room and Bawa's office.

The general progression of spaces, first through the entrance

courtyard then through the central court and finally into the great
space of the meeting room and the architect's office, establishes a
mood which can easily be felt and which would then set the temper
of acceptance or rejection - a great advantage for an architectural
practice."
