Bevis Bawa was the brother of Geoffrey Bawa, a famous architect who worked on many great works, including Heritance Ahungalla. Talented like his sibling, Bevis Bawa converted this former rubber plantation into a wonderful series of landscaped gardens. Through clever planting and screening, you are led through a series of tableaux and views, nooks and bowers. Statues and artwork are dotted throughout, as well as in the minimalist house. Many are Bawa’s own work, while the Australian artist Donald Friend is also well represented.
