The Best Architects in Kandy – Kedella Homes' Architectural Excellence Backed by 20 Years of Experience.

Modern Box Type House Plans for 6-8 Perch Land in Sri Lanka

Creating Inspired Spaces Across Sri Lanka's Hill Capital

When property owners search for Architects in Kandy, they are often looking for much more than someone who can prepare building drawings. They need a trusted professional team capable of transforming a vision into a beautiful, practical, compliant, and financially achievable reality.

Operating under the legal entity Kedalla Design and Construction (Pvt) Ltd, incorporated on 16 February 2006 (PV-18553), Kedella Homes has evolved into one of the most respected multi-disciplinary architectural and construction organizations serving Kandy, Matale, Nuwara Eliya, Kegalle, and the wider Central Province.

Our mission is simple:

To deliver elegant, practical, environmentally conscious, and budget-friendly architectural solutions that stand the test of time.


Why Kedella Homes Stands Out Among Best Architects in Kandy

The architectural industry in Kandy is highly competitive. Many firms can produce attractive drawings. However, very few possess deep expertise in both architecture and construction.

Kedella Homes combines both disciplines under one roof.

This means our designs are not only visually impressive but also:

  • • Technically buildable
  • • Cost efficient
  • • Structurally practical
  • • Council compliant
  • • Environmentally responsible
  • • Suitable for hill-country conditions

For clients, this significantly reduces risk, minimizes design errors, and helps avoid expensive construction-stage changes.

Experience That Cannot Be Learned from Textbooks:

With over 20 years of combined architectural and construction experience, our team has worked extensively throughout:

  • • Kandy
  • • Peradeniya
  • • Heerassagala
  • • Aniwaththa
  • • Primrose Gardens
  • • Watapuluwa
  • • Kiribathkumbura
  • • Pilimathalawa
  • • Kundasale
  • • Haragama
  • • Pujapitiya
  • • Wattegama

Many of these projects involve challenging terrain, steep slopes, difficult access roads, restrictive planning regulations, and environmentally sensitive locations.

Our extensive portfolio provides practical insights that cannot be replicated through theoretical design alone.

Understanding Kandy's Architectural Challenges.

Why Designing in Kandy Is Different?

Kandy presents architectural challenges rarely encountered in flatter regions of Sri Lanka.

Hilly Topography

Many sites require:

  • • Split-level planning
  • • Retaining structures
  • • Complex drainage systems
  • • Specialized foundations

High Rainfall

Architectural solutions must address:

  • • Roof drainage
  • • Water management
  • • Damp prevention
  • • Soil stability

Humidity and Mist

Building materials and detailing must be selected carefully to prevent deterioration.

Landslide Risk

Certain properties require:

  • • NBRO approvals
  • • Geotechnical assessments
  • • Soil stability reports

Heritage Regulations

Within the Kandy Municipal Council and selected Urban Development Authority zones, strict heritage preservation regulations apply.

This is why hiring architects familiar with Kandy's environment can save significant time and money.
