About us
Crafting timeless spaces that harmonize with nature and life
At Munipriya Associates, we believe architecture is more than just creating buildings—it’s about crafting spaces that engage the senses, evoke the emotions, and connect people with their surroundings. Based in Boralesgamuwa, Sri Lanka, our firm has been shaping meaningful environments since 2008, blending traditional wisdom with contemporary innovation.
Our Approach
Our design philosophy is rooted in sensitivity to place, culture, and climate. We strive to create architecture that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, ensuring that each project is not only functional but also immersive, intuitive, and responsive to the people who experience it. Whether it’s a private residence, a hospitality space, or a larger urban development, our approach prioritizes sustainability, material honesty, and the way spaces influence daily life.
We focus on creating environments that go beyond aesthetics—spaces that feel natural, comfortable, and deeply connected to their context. Light, airflow, textures, and spatial relationships are all carefully considered to enhance the overall experience, making each space not just a structure, but a place that invites engagement and well-being.

We believe in an interactive and hands-on approach to architecture, working closely with clients, craftsmen, and consultants to bring visions to life. Our workspace reflects this philosophy—an informal yet rigorous environment where design is explored, questioned, and refined to create meaningful spaces.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to grow, our vision remains clear: to design spaces that endure, inspire, and evolve with time. We are committed to sustainable innovation, reinterpreting Sri Lanka’s architectural traditions for the future, and contributing to a built environment that is thoughtful, responsible, and deeply connected to its context.
At Munipriya Associates, we don’t just design buildings—we create experiences that shape the way people live, work, and connect with the world around them.
