About Pieris House
The Pieris House was De Silva's first commission in Colombo distinguished by open courtyards and terraces blurring the confines between interiors and exteriors with authentic local details like decorative leaf inlays on balconies and gates. This meda midula would become a hallmark of many of her dwellings and would be refined and experimented upon by subsequent architects, most notably Geoffrey Bawa. La Casa Pieris fue el primer encargo de De Silva en Colombo, que se distingue por sus patios abiertos y sus terrazas, que difuminan los límites entre los interiores y los exteriores con detalles locales auténticos, como incrustaciones de hojas decorativas en balcones y puertas. Esta meda midula se convertiría en un sello distintivo de muchas de sus viviendas y sería perfeccionada y experimentada por arquitectos posteriores, sobre todo Geoffrey Bawa. Confronting the very world of elites from which she came herself, De Silva looked to transcend the frivolous whims of the rich. To do so, she turned to the work of local artisans, working side by side to polish ancient practices and perfect avant-garde techniques. For many, entering her worksites is a dream come true. At the same time, she decided to find new, more sustainable construction solutions suitable for all budgets. Focusing on alternative materials and compressing environments, De Silva’s revolutionary practices went against the against the grain. The increasingly populated cities needed vertical development, space optimization, and economic solutions without ever compromising their principles of identity. Enfrentándose al mismo mundo de las élites del que ella misma procedía, De Silva buscó trascender los frívolos caprichos de los ricos. Para ello, recurrió al trabajo de los artesanos locales, trabajando codo con codo para pulir las prácticas antiguas y perfeccionar las técnicas de vanguardia. Para muchos, entrar en sus obras es un sueño hecho realidad.
