We design and build heat and cold rooms across the Seychelles — a cabin wedged between boulders above Glacis, a granite plunge basin at Anse Takamaka, a thermal suite on Praslin. Almost every site is on a slope, against rock, or on another island, and all three are design inputs rather than surprises.
We walk the route from the nearest vehicle to the cabin position before we quote, photograph every turn and size the panels to the tightest gap. Then the cabin sits on a granite plinth pinned into bedrock, or a steel sub-frame an engineer has sized, with a cut-off drain above it.
Boulders stay where they are: as a wall, as a backdrop, as shade, or as the block a plunge basin is carved from. A honed bowl inside a split outer face is the one thing we make that could not exist anywhere else — with insulation behind it, because granite is the finish, not the tank.
There is no cool month and no cold night. A chiller is required in every installation and we say so before quoting. Shade, insulation and a lid are the three levers on the bill, and we give you the monthly figure with the quote rather than in month two.
Almost every plot in these islands is on a slope with a boulder on it. That single fact decides the plinth, the panel …

Every quote separates the access and carry, the marine specification, the crossing where there is one, and the services. If it is the slope, the salt or the barge that makes your project expensive, you will see which line it is.
Granite blocks are split, carved and honed here too — the inner bowl smooth, the outer faces left raw. Come and sit in one before you order it.

Yes. There is no month in these islands when a tub holds plunge temperature by itself. We would rather tell you that before you spend the money than after.
Sometimes — it depends on the stone. We look at it before promising anything, and a carved basin on a suspended structure needs an engineer's sign-off first.
Regularly. Everything is consolidated into one shipment and dry-assembled at Providence first. On La Digue panels are built for handcart and bicycle, because that is what moves things there.
Ten to fourteen weeks rather than eight to twelve, and almost all of the difference is shipping and scheduling rather than building.
Quarterly, everywhere, because every site here is coastal. Each visit includes a corrosion inspection.
For a steam room, a great deal. Rainwater is soft and kind to a generator; borehole water here can be hard enough to scale one in months. We test at the property before specifying.
