Design notes

What this design explores

Stacked balconies and abundant planting make this townhouse feel open despite its vertical proportions. Warm wall colours sit behind dark railings, while a recessed ground-floor parking bay occupies one side of the frontage. An upper open terrace adds another layer above the main balcony line.

For a Thalawathugoda townhouse brief, the concept suggests how outdoor space can be distributed across levels rather than reserved entirely for the garden. The illustration does not confirm a plot width or the number of rooms behind each balcony.

A detailed adaptation should give each planted edge a practical purpose and a maintenance route. Structa can coordinate planter loads, root barriers, waterproofing and overflow points with the floor slabs. Privacy between upper outdoor areas and neighbouring homes also needs testing. At ground level, vehicle clearance and the pedestrian entrance should work together so the greenery does not obstruct daily movement.
