The C-House proves you do not need a big plot to build a beautiful modern home. On a compact site near Colombo, this sleek box type house gives a family of four 2,937 square feet of clever, light-filled living across two floors.

Minimalist Box Type Elegance

A sleek, minimalist box-type exterior with clean lines gives The C-House the confident modern look a new generation of Sri Lankan families love, while making the very most of a smaller urban plot.

Zoned for Real Family Life

The ground floor is open-concept living, dining, pantry and wet kitchen; upstairs holds four private bedrooms, a master suite and a cosy TV lobby, so shared and private spaces each have their place.

Work, Rest and a Rooftop View

A dedicated office room makes working from home effortless, while a quiet roof terrace gives the family a peaceful outdoor escape overlooking the garden without needing extra land.
