Thilina Liyanage Designs the Nelumbo Sustainably

Thilina Liyanage designs the Nelumbo, which is an innovative floating restaurant on water reflecting the look of a lotus flower in full bloom. The silhouette is marvelous with a poetic form that nods to nature and design. When guests enter, they immediately experience a serene and immersive welcome.

Architecturally, the Nelumbo is beautiful and is further backed by its commitment to sustainability. The main building is made from bamboo materials, which reflects the eco-build due to its natural strength and flexibility. The canvas roof tops off the building in a way that looks like petals opening up in full bloom. Visually and structurally, the roof is lightweight and then backed by resistant properties as the organic shape reflects nature aesthetics.
