About Us
Read Studio is an architecture and design practice between Sydney and Colombo. We believe good architecture begins with asking the right questions, before rushing to answer the wrong ones , which is why we take on difficult sites, tight planning envelopes, and complex briefs with particular relish. Our experience spans residential, civic, aged care, childcare, co-living, and commercial projects, supported by a deep capability in BIM, design technology, and visualisation.
Read Studio is led by Pulasthi Wijekoon and Ruwani Guruge, who brought 14 years of experience across leading Sydney architectural practices to the studio they founded in 2022. Both began their careers in Colombo, which is where our second studio remains as an integrated team, letting us handle projects at a larger scale and depth than a conventional small studio of our size.
We recognize the changing roles of architects and the evolving nature of building types in response to shifting social, environmental, and cultural contexts. Our work explores new spatial models, adaptive reuse, emerging construction methods and digital & AI workflows.
Architecture & design services include preliminary site studies, preliminary design ideas, architectural services from concept to completion, interior architecture and spatial design, furniture and joinery design, and signage and graphic design.
We also provide Consortium and project management services, coordinated consultant teams and end-to-end project delivery in our Colombo studio.
Design technology services including BIM coordination and clash detection, design automation and digital workflows, environmental analysis, and BIM 4D/5D integration for construction scheduling and cost management.
Visualisation services including renderings, virtual reality experiences, and project videos.
