Lonogga Garden: Where nature and architecture come together

Jeffrey Bava

Lonoghaga Garden

Lonogga is one of the most prominent symbols of Sri Lankan's cultural heritage and design that beautifully exhibits the history and art of architecture of the country. The property was purchased as his first project by Jeffrey Bava, a prominent architect, and has since become a masterpiece of architecture and gardening. By turning a deserted rubber farm into one of the most beautiful gardens of the 20th century, Bava has used numerous artistic and architectural effects on this space.

Lonogaga is influenced by many different elements in its design and architecture, including Italian Renaissance gardens, English landscapes, Japanese garden art and ancient water gardens. This unique art combination has become one of Jeffrey Bavi's unique work that has become a Mecca for those interested in landscape design and architectural history.

Jeffrey Bava style

The main house of Lunogaga, composed of a tea hut in 1930 with six guest suites, is an embodiment of “tropical modernism”. In this house, there is an artistic combination of modern and modern furniture with traditional and contemporary art that represents Jeffrey Bava's special style. The Bava Foundation and the Tidraps hotels have also tried to minimize the changes at home so that guests have a similar experience to what Bava intended for them.

A rich history

In 1962, the couple of the artist ENA de Silva and his wife Osmund asked Jeffrey Bava to design a home for them. The project was a turning point in Bava's work, as he was able to combine modern design with traditional Sri Lankan elements. In 2009, Ena de Silva donated the house to the Bava Foundation, and the foundation carefully moved the house from Colombo to Lunoga. This complicated and time consuming process involved removing and reconstructing the details of the home for six years.
