Finished Project by Touchwood

Touchwood proudly presents the completion of the Main Restaurant Roof at Paradise Sun Hotel, Praslin, Seychelles. This project highlights our expertise in tropical timber architecture for luxury resorts, combining natural beauty, durability, and functionality.

As the central hub of the resort, the main restaurant required a roof design that was not only practical but also iconic — one that reflects the tropical identity of Seychelles and enhances the guest experience.

Premium Material: Merbau Wood

For this project, Touchwood selected Merbau wood as the primary construction material due to its superior performance in tropical climates:

  • Strength & Durability – Merbau is a tropical hardwood renowned for its stability and resilience against humidity and coastal conditions.

  • Natural Aesthetics – Its warm reddish-brown tone and distinctive grain patterns create a refined, luxurious look.

  • Longevity & Sustainability – With proper treatment, Merbau ensures long-lasting protection and sustainable construction.

Every structural detail was executed with precision using CADWORK 3D modeling, ensuring international standards and accurate implementation.

Tropical Design & Engineering Solutions

Building in the Seychelles requires careful adaptation to the environment. Our design team addressed challenges such as high humidity, strong coastal winds, and tropical storms with:

  • Ventilated roof design for improved airflow and thermal comfort.

  • Protective treatment of Merbau wood to extend its lifespan.

  • Robust structural detailing to withstand harsh tropical weather conditions.

The Result

The completed Main Restaurant Roof at Paradise Sun Hotel is a perfect balance of elegance and strength. With Merbau wood as the core material, the roof not only functions as shelter but also serves as a defining feature of the resort’s identity.

This finished project reinforces Touchwood’s commitment to delivering sustainable tropical architecture — blending natural timber with modern engineering to create iconic spaces in luxury resorts worldwide.
