Description
Capitol TwinPeaks is a striking 408 unit residential development located in a lively district adjacent to Beira Lake overlooking the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. It has two residential towers of 45-storeys and features a sky bridge that links the towers at 152m, capitalizing on the panoramic views stretching from Beira Lake to the horizon beyond the ocean and cityscape. The entrance to the development is enlivened by retail components integrated with residential lobbies amidst a grand landscaped plaza while the units in the towers are designed to maximize comfort, privacy, natural light and views. The robust architectural façade is characterized by the juxtaposition of white rectangular grid façade frames expressed on the tower exteriors with 8 cantilevered glazed boxes that wrap around the building at different heights. The scheme adopts several energy efficiency strategies by incorporating maximized daylight, natural ventilation, improved insulation, double glass facade and rainwater harvesting for irrigation, establishing itself as a significant landmark to become an integral part of the city of Colombo.
