Project: Mahitha's House
Location: Kandy, Sri Lanka
Area: 4300 Sqft
Plot: 12 Perch
Budget Allocation: 25 Million
Client: Mahitha Lanka
Project Designer- TRKDE Interior Designer
Mahitha's house is built on a semi-urban plot of land in the Kandy area. The standard-sized plot, as well as its composition the foundation on which social and leisure environments are kept, and the body that keeps them close. Two reductions were made on the ground floor volume to limit car accommodation and balcony, respectively. We have also tried to emphasize the formal independence between the slab floors as well as the horizontal identity of the composition to create a balcony in the bedrooms located on the back face, one reduction in the southwest corner of the upper floor. Furthermore, this difference is emphasized by the covering material for the facade, which is carefully used to achieve harmony between the house colour and texture. The translucence and cleanness we bring out through this architectural design show that we have brought a more enlightened look to this home.

Craftaforms' ACUFORMS range is a collection of decorative acoustic panels engineered for both sound performance and visual impact in residential and commercial interiors. Each panel combines effective noise reduction with distinctive surface textures, making acoustic treatment an integral part of the interior design rather than an afterthought.
Designed for specification by architects, interior designers, and acoustic consultants, ACUFORMS panels are suitable for open-plan offices, meeting rooms, hospitality spaces, home theatres, and public areas where sound control and aesthetics are equally important.
Material: High-performance acoustic substrate with decorative surface finish
Applications: Offices, meeting rooms, hotels, restaurants, home theatres, auditoriums
Suitable for: Commercial and residential acoustic treatment projects

This client had a stained concrete floor in their lower level. She had originally started working with a box store. They delivered a non waterproof laminate flooring, did minimal prep, explained product had failures, and cancelled her project.
I helped her re-select a budget friendly waterproof Shaw luxury vinyl plank (lvp) as a replacement. We upgraded to noise reduction under layment. This product was installed in her finished lower level.

This LEED Platinum certified house reflects the homeowner's desire for an exceptionally healthy and comfortable living environment, within a traditional neighborhood.
INFILL SITE. The family, who moved from another area of Wellesley, sought out this property to be within walking distance of the high school and downtown area. An existing structure on the tight lot was removed to make way for the new home. 84% of the construction waste, from both the previous structure and the new home, was diverted from a landfill. ZED designed to preserve the existing mature trees on the perimeter of the property to minimize site impacts, and to maintain the character of the neighborhood as well as privacy on the site.
EXTERIOR EXPRESSION. The street facade of the home relates to the local New England vernacular. The rear uses contemporary language, a nod to the family’s Californian roots, to incorporate a roof deck, solar panels, outdoor living space, and the backyard swimming pool. ZED’s careful planning avoided to the need to face the garage doors towards the street, a common syndrome of a narrow lot.
THOUGHTFUL SPACE. Homes with dual entries can often result in duplicate and unused spaces. In this home, the everyday and formal entry areas are one and the same; the front and garage doors share the entry program of coat closets, mudroom storage with bench for removing your shoes, and a laundry room with generous closets for the children's sporting equipment. The entry area leads directly to the living space, encompassing the kitchen, dining and sitting area areas in an L-shaped open plan arrangement. The kitchen is placed at the south-west corner of the space to allow for a strong connection to the dining, sitting and outdoor living spaces. A fire pit on the deck satisfies the family’s desire for an open flame while a sealed gas fireplace is used indoors - ZED’s preference after omitting gas burning appliances completely from an airtight home. A small study, with a window seat, is conveniently located just off of the living space. A first floor guest bedroom includes an accessible bathroom for aging visitors and can be used as a master suite to accommodate aging in place.
HEALTHY LIVING. The client requested a home that was easy to clean and would provide a respite from seasonal allergies and common contaminants that are found in many indoor spaces. ZED selected easy to clean solid surface flooring throughout, provided ample space for cleaning supplies on each floor, and designed a mechanical system with ventilation that provides a constant supply of fresh outdoor air. ZED selected durable materials, finishes, cabinetry, and casework with low or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and no added urea formaldehyde.
YEAR-ROUND COMFORT. The home is super insulated and air-tight, paired with high performance triple-paned windows, to ensure it is draft-free throughout the winter (even when in front of the large windows and doors). ZED designed a right-sized heating and cooling system to pair with the thermally improved building enclosure to ensure year-round comfort. The glazing on the home maximizes passive solar gains, and facilitates cross ventilation and daylighting.
ENERGY EFFICIENT. As one of the most energy efficient houses built to date in Wellesley, the home highlights a practical solution for Massachusetts. First, the building enclosure reduces the largest energy requirement for typical houses (heating). Super-insulation, exceptional air sealing, a thermally broken wall assembly, triple pane windows, and passive solar gain combine for a sizable heating load reduction. Second, within the house only efficient systems consume energy. These include an air source heat pump for heating & cooling, a heat pump hot water heater, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation, and high efficiency appliances. Lastly, photovoltaics provide renewable energy help offset energy consumption. The result is an 89% reduction in energy use compared to a similar brand new home built to code requirements.
RESILIENT. The home will fare well in extreme weather events. During a winter power outage, heat loss will be very slow due to the super-insulated and airtight envelope– taking multiple days to drop to 60 degrees even with no heat source. An engineered drainage system, paired with careful the detailing of the foundation, will help to keep the finished basement dry. A generator will provide full operation of the all-electric house during a power outage.
OVERALL. The home is a reflection of the family goals and an expression of their values, beautifully enabling health, comfort, safety, resilience, and utility, all while respecting the planet.
