An 18 m tall observation tower in the shape of a coconut was created on the island of Vommuli as part of a luxury holiday resort. The single and double curved glue laminated timber elements were provided with all the steel parts in the factory and delivered together with the fasteners to ensure quick and easy installation in the Maldives.
