Surf Sufficient Eco-Cabanas

Sri Lanka

Every year White Design chooses to make a donation to a charity instead of spending the money on Christmas cards, which will be discarded.  This Christmas White Design made a donation to the charity 'Surf Sufficient', which uses surfing to raise money and awareness for the regeneration of Weligama, a Sri Lankan settlement that was devastated by the tsunami.

We are now donating resources and time as well as money, and are working with the charity's founder to design a new community development that will help the settlement get back on it’s feet, and stay standing. 

In conjunction with Surf Sufficient we have developed a brief for a sustainable surf lodge, with additional facilities for local people and a strong community focus.  All profits from the lodge will be put back into the community to aid regeneration.  The project also aims to promote the use of locally sourced materials, techniques and skills to counter-act the overwhelming use of concrete in new build projects around the country.
