Wood + Architecture
LIGNA is a Dubai-based hardwood supplier and timber manufacturer. These projects document our engineered Iroko hardwood systems performing across the UAE's most demanding residential, commercial and hospitality environments — from wood cladding in Abu Dhabi to structural timber pergolas at 5-star resorts.
Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE
A high-end private villa in Dubai required premium Iroko hardwood pool decking and outdoor timber flooring capable of withstanding the UAE's extreme summer heat while delivering a barefoot-grade luxury surface. The specification demanded natural wooden planks with the thermal performance and UV stability that the Gulf climate demands from any outdoor timber installation.
LIGNA DECK in premium Iroko hardwood was installed across the villa's pool surround and outdoor terrace areas on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. The Iroko timber decking delivers a surface that stays cool underfoot even in peak UAE summer conditions — with near-zero expansion across humidity cycles and a natural grain finish that sets the benchmark for hardwood pool decking across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Masdar City — Abu Dhabi's landmark sustainable urban development — required wood cladding and wooden wall panels matching the city's world-leading sustainability credentials. All timber needed to perform reliably in the exposed desert climate of Abu Dhabi while meeting LEED-aligned environmental specifications. The project demanded a hardwood supplier with proven experience in extreme UAE outdoor conditions.
LIGNA CLAD in thermally modified Aspen and Ayous hardwood was selected as the best wood cladding solution for Abu Dhabi's extreme desert conditions. Thermo-treated timber delivers outstanding dimensional stability and weather resistance — making this one of the most technically demanding wooden cladding installations completed in the UAE. Executed in collaboration with main contractor ASGC, this project proves engineered wood cladding can meet the highest sustainability standards in the region.
Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai, UAE
The Coca-Cola Arena — Dubai's premier indoor entertainment venue — required premium custom hardwood timber bench seating capable of handling extremely high footfall while delivering natural warmth and visual quality befitting one of the UAE's most high-profile public spaces.
LIGNA SLAT was custom-profiled and precision-milled to deliver bespoke hardwood bench seating across the arena's public spaces. Working with client KTC International, this timber installation stands as one of LIGNA's landmark projects in Dubai — proving that architectural hardwood from a UAE timber supplier can perform at the highest level in the most demanding high-traffic public environments across the Emirates.
Rixos Marina, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi — one of the UAE's most prestigious 5-star hotel and resort destinations — required a bespoke structural timber pergola capable of withstanding the marine environment of the marina while matching the property's premium aesthetic standards. The specification demanded a hardwood timber supplier with proven experience delivering structural sections in coastal UAE conditions.
LIGNA STRUCT in premium Iroko hardwood was selected for its exceptional load-bearing integrity and natural resistance to humidity, salt air and UAE extreme UV conditions. As a Dubai-based timber supplier and hardwood manufacturer, LIGNA delivered, engineered and supported the full installation at Rixos Marina — a definitive example of what structural Iroko timber can achieve in the most demanding coastal hospitality environments across the UAE and GCC.
