Who We Are
StudioJH is a distinguished architecture and interior design firm founded by Jithain Hathiramani. With a portfolio that spans Sri Lanka, India, Africa, and beyond, the firm is celebrated for crafting spaces that are thoughtfully rooted in their cultural and environmental contexts.
Jithain’s early career was shaped by his time at two of Sri Lanka’s most renowned architectural practices — MICD Associates, led by Channa Daswatte and Murad Ismail, and PWA, under the direction of Philip Weerarathne. These experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for contextual sensitivity and contemporary tropical design, values that form the foundation of Studio JH’s work today.
Guided by a design philosophy that draws from the rich layers of cultural heritage, historical depth, and the natural beauty of each site, Studio JH creates spaces that are both authentic and enduring. Whether designing an intimate private residence, a vibrant café, or an elegant hotel, the studio’s work seamlessly weaves these influences into every project. The result is a collection of timeless spaces that reflect a deep sense of place, purpose, and understated sophistication
