Modern Residence with Cylindrical Stair Tower Design for Battaramulla

Design notes
What this design explores
The tall cylindrical element is the first thing visible from this approach. Its slim windows contrast with rectangular glazed bays and the warmer textured wall beside it. The projecting round roof cap gives the tower a defined top above the rest of the frontage.
If the tower is intended to enclose a stair, first lay out the flights, landings and practical headroom. A curved exterior can also be used as a visual feature without forcing every internal wall to follow the same shape. The front angle helps test whether the entrance remains easy to find alongside such a prominent tower.
