The project proponents, concept designers, architects, and engineers of the Mountain Lodge project firmly believe that the building should be alive and breathing. Not only have a heart but also a pulse with life going through its veins. It should be functional and intelligent, for example, able to regulate its own temperature and airflow. A building should be creative, unique, and beautiful, an entity you can fall in love with. If you are fortunate enough to have a leading role in a project such as this, then it should excite you and make you emotive; it should be somewhere you want to be, a special place where you are comfortable and want to spend your time.
One of the main drivers in designing Mountain Lodge is the fact that it is a completely new creation. Whenever we start with a blank sheet of paper, the opportunity must be grasped of not only having an incubator for creativity but also a stage for new technologies to be developed, tested, implemented and showcased. This is not only for the furtherance of innovation but also as an important legacy in providing benefits to our future generations. By investing today in new solutions aimed at environmental sustainability, we are confident that the Mountain Lodge project will help put Sri Lanka on the map as a ‘pioneer’ in the development of carbon neutrality within what is becoming a rapidly growing tourism industry.
The potential for a healthy return on investment is not only derived from the rapid growth in the Sri Lankan tourism industry over the last decade but also added into the Mountain Lodge equation is the additional profit to be derived from catering to the ever-increasing numbers of high-net-worth individuals now coming to Sri Lanka. We believe Mountain Lodge to be a unique two-fold opportunity for investors.
