The slave island, present-day which has neither slaves nor is an island is a suburb in Colombo, Sri Lanka. However, the place has been well known for the resident’s culinary specialty which was ’Kodal babath curry’. Slave island highlights as a suburb in the country not only because of people and the multiethnic culture but also because of the outstanding Dutch era colonial architecture. Slave island railway station and the long building facades of the buildings still stands as remnants of that colonial architecture with stylish arches, winding woodwork, and metal installations, which emphasize Victorian-era styles.

In each node, new meaningful functions were adopted and provided with peculiar solutions for different urban issues.
1) Wetland and the urban village
- Bridge from the lotus tower over the Beria lake to the slave island side- Recreational islands- 200 housing units- Wetland- Street until the 6-way junction
2) Square and the housing

The floating urban village was used as an emergency housing solution for people that are currently evicted due to gentrification on Slave Island. Also functioning as temporary relocation when the scheme is being developed and built. To create a sense of density the village is multi-story and has been designed as a long-lasting neighborhood on the Beira Lake. The residents would be encouraged to work in the facilities and protecting the wetland and the lake. Although the idea was little straight forward and needed more work to be done the lake has enough room for the village to be potentially expanded in the future as a partial housing community with viable livelihoods, using the same principles of life with nature on water.
