Hatton National Bank Head Office at T B Jayah Mawatha, Colombo 10.

The only intelligent building in Sri Lanka at the time of its completion. The only high-rise building where all the consultants were Sri Lankans at the time of completion.

The building has an area of 500,000 sq.ft. with 245 car spaces eight floors. Power is provided by 04 generators, 03 of 1500KVA & 01 of 250KVA. Air conditioning is provided by 04 chillers with a capacity of 1200 tons & controlled by sensors, which recognize human & sun load. This is probably the only building where the air conditioning system is treated with ozone thus reducing human fatigue. The fire escapes are all pressurized to make it smoke free. The entire building is monitored by 150 CCTV cameras, which are watched in the control room, which also shows any malfunction of the services.  Thus it is also a safe building.

Improvements to the Entrance and Foyer of Millenium House at Nawam Mawatha, Colombo 02.

Originally the entrance was completed with basic finishes which did not give the building a very strong entrance, and there by not establishing a stature to the entrance. Identifying the problem, we united the whole entrance court, where the building rose from behind a cubic unit.  To achieve this concept, we then claded all columns and beams with dark green granite which gave the entrance a very strong character. The side of beams were claded with stainless steel to make it more sleek and light which in turn tied the entire unit.  Certain selected elements were claded in slate to give a contrast to break the monotony. The entrance foyer functionally lacked direction.  The reception area was not clearly defined, the fire doors opened to the lobby, and once again basic finishes were used. Once the problems were identified, we established an axis from the point of entry with a glass brickwall which also served a dual purpose of masking the fire door.  We highlighted and clearly demarcated the reception area by covering the side of the staircase (rear of the reception) with dark gray granite upto the height of the hand rail. The wall behind the reception was painted canary yellow inorder to make the atmosphere of the lobby more energetic.  A new glass door was introduced to make the axis move transparent.  Slate and granite was used to clad the liftwall where the mix of material once again softened the interior.
