Remembering Laki Senanayake on his Birthday

Remembering Laki Senanayake on his birthday.
I cannot remember when I first met Laki, but I remember every conversation we have had on art, on the forest, on biodiversity and on life.

Laki was a free spirit, non-judgmental, kind, brilliant and witty. He refused to take himself seriously. On Sunday, the Barberyn Family and Lakis associates from the village celebrated Laki with deep respect and gratitude, giving alms to the Bikkhunis at the Aranya next door, and having lunch in Lakis’ gallery.

Lake House, our latest addition to Diyabubula

Introducing “Lake House” our latest addition to Diyabubula.
The Lake house is the last space that Laki built “to watch the stars”.
“You can rebuild it one day” he casually remarked, and this is what we did.
Directly accessible from Lakis Terrace, the two level space built around a tree has a triangular transparent roof. At the terrace level is the bedroom which overlooks the Lake. As twilight falls Lakis mystical sculptures around the lake comes alive, and it is magic – to experience in the privacy of your elegant glass walled bedroom.
