The project marks S&T Interiors Sri Lanka’s first first-ever international project and follows on several high-end domestic projects – from the Mövenpick City Hotel in Colombo to the ongoing refurbishment of public areas at the World Trade Centre – that are leaving an indelible mark of creative, cultured interior finishes that blend international expertise with local craftsmanship.
“Our mission at S&T Interiors Sri Lanka is to drive a new approach to interior fit-out that emphasizes quality and craftsmanship blended seamlessly with international best practices that will ultimately establish higher forms of architecture and design both in Sri Lanka and regionally.
“The completion of our first international project in Maldives is therefore a bold step forward for S&T Interiors Sri Lanka and we look forward to taking on new overseas opportunities as our reputation continues to grow in the region,” S&T Interiors and Contracting International Operations Executive Director, K.S.

“The Marriot Maldives project is a vital milestone for our business and of course a personal point of pride for each of us at S&T Interiors Sri Lanka. Moving forward we have several other notable projects in the pipeline domestically, and we are in the process of exploring new international opportunities as well.
