Over the past century, St Sebastian’s College, Moratuwa stands as a forerunner of Catholic education in the region, with a structure that also boasts of architecture of the colonial heritage.

Embraced by the elements of mother earth, Green Paradise hotel lies nestled within a cove of greenery bordered by the Kumbukkande wewa and a mountainous rock on the other.

Bamboo has a long history as a building material. It is widely used in construction throughout the world’s tropical and sub-tropical regions, with a range of applications to match or even exceed those of timber. In Central and South America, bamboo buildings of every description can be found - from low- grade temporary housing to exclusive, architect designed mansions.
