Instead what we have created is a space for people to come and be innovators. We have tried to make the interiors as high-tech and comfortable as possible to allow people to think creatively. The food and beverages are also created to inspire great minds. Then there’s the pet-friendly factor which
is another first in Sri Lanka and a culture we would like to promote as well.”
