He is also the brother of Geoffrey Bawa which is also a renowned Sri Lankan Architect. Bawa designed the garden in a sprawling land area of 2 hectares. At present, the property is under the care of Bevis Bawa’s staff, whom he considered family.

The entrance to the garden is guarded by two ornate gateposts crowned with male and female figures. Bawa’s house is also located at the property.
