Thilina Liyanage Designs the Turtle Restaurant on the Coast
Amy Duong — February 22, 2024
Thilina Liyanage designed the Turtle Restaurant, which is an artful structure that is made with intricate architectural themes. It rests along the coastline and celebrates the ocean's creatures. The entire structure is made from bamboo and thus, embodies a sustainable build that seamlessly blends with the beachy location.
The restaurant is made up of smaller sections that join together to form the look of a turtle. The bamboo was selected as the main material as it is the local material of the area and its eco-friendly capabilities. Bamboo is sturdy and also biodegradable which aligns with the studio's sustainable efforts and offers a natural aesthetic and strong structure. The entrance is at the back of the title and it is connected to the forest.
