The Lunuganga Estate is the former country house of renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa.
In 1949, newly qualified lawyer Geoffrey Bawa bought it from its owner, intending to convert the estate bungalow into a weekend house and create a tropical version of a European renaissance garden.
After qualifying as an architect, he returned to Ceylon in 1958 and joined the architectural practice of Edwards, Reid and Beggs.
Bawa continued to develop the house and gardens at Lunuganga for forty years until his death in May 2003.
The house and gardens contain many works from artists such as Donald Friend and Laki Senanayake as well as artefacts from Asia and Europe.
