Tambora Bungalow is one of the signature projects by Touchwood, representing our commitment to delivering world-class tropical wooden architecture through advanced timber engineering and precision craftsmanship. Installed in the beautiful natural landscape of Fiji, this villa highlights how modern construction technology can elevate the aesthetics and performance of tropical resort structures.
Cross-Laminated Timber for a Distinctive Organic Roof
This project features prefabricated cross-laminated timber (CLT) for its main roof structure. The use of CLT allows us to create the villa’s iconic flowing roofline—an organic form that has become one of Touchwood’s recognizable architectural signatures.
As an engineered wood product, CLT provides:
-
Exceptional structural strength
-
High-dimensional stability
-
Design freedom for complex curves
-
Sustainable construction performance
New innovations in engineered timber have transformed the possibilities of wooden architecture, allowing Touchwood to create tropical buildings that are both visually striking and structurally advanced.
Prefabricated Timber Construction by Touchwood
In addition, the entire structure was built using high-precision prefabrication, following the Touchwood approach used across our international projects. This method ensures accuracy, faster installation, and consistent quality—an essential advantage for luxury resort developments in remote tropical regions.
Furthermore, the prefabricated system reduces material waste and minimizes environmental disruption. Therefore, the construction process aligns fully with Touchwood’s commitment to sustainable and responsible building practices
A Tropical Villa That Blends with Nature
Surrounded by lush green hills and coastal landscapes, Tambora Bungalow is designed to integrate naturally with the environment. The combination of hardwood structures, full-height glass, and CLT roof curves creates a warm, organic atmosphere that complements Fiji’s natural beauty.
Key features include:
-
Elevated foundation suitable for tropical coastal sites
-
Natural hardwood framing with premium finishing
-
Large openings for ventilation and indoor–outdoor living
-
Roof design inspired by natural forms
This villa embodies the character of luxury tropical living, engineered to meet modern performance standards while preserving the charm of traditional island architecture.
