Wood + Architecture
Built Work
Every project is a proof of concept. These case studies document LIGNA systems performing at their highest — under the Gulf sun, in the hands of the region's most demanding architects and developers.
Dubai,UAE
Private palace abu dhabi project required a high-quality commercial decking installation— one that could deliver a durable, clean, and modern decking surface capable of withstanding the demands of a busy commercial environment while maintaining a professional aesthetic.
LIGNA DECK in premium decking was installed across the facility's outdoor areas, providing a surface that combines the natural warmth of timber aesthetics with the enhanced durability and low-maintenance performance required for commercial use. The completed installation delivers exactly what was asked for — a durable, clean, and modern decking surface fully suited to the commercial environment.
Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Masdar City — Abu Dhabi's landmark sustainable urban development — required an outdoor seating installation that aligned with the city's world-leading sustainability credentials. All materials needed to perform reliably in the exposed desert climate while meeting the project's stringent environmental specifications.
LIGNA CLAD— thermally modified hardwoods chosen for their enhanced dimensional stability and outstanding weather resistance in Abu Dhabi's extreme climate. This project was successfully executed in close collaboration with main contractor ASGC, whose coordination and site execution played a key role in the quality of the final outcome.
Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai, UAE
The Coca-Cola Arena — Dubai's premier indoor entertainment venue and one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city — required premium custom wooden bench seating that would stand up to heavy footfall while delivering the natural warmth and visual quality befitting one of the region's most iconic urban spaces.
LIGNA SLAT was custom-profiled and precision-milled to deliver bespoke bench seating across the arena's public spaces. Working with client KTC International, the installation has become one of our landmark projects — proof that architectural timber can perform at the highest level in the most demanding high-traffic, high-profile public environments in the UAE.
Rixos Marina, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi — one of the UAE's most prestigious luxury hotel and resort destinations — required a bespoke Towel House structure that could withstand the marine environment of the marina while matching the property's premium aesthetic standards.
LIGNA STRUCT in premium Iroko hardwood was selected for its exceptional structural integrity and natural resistance to humidity, salt air, and the UAE's extreme UV conditions. We are proud to announce the successful completion of this installation at one of the region's most iconic hotel and resort properties — a testament to what structural timber can achieve in demanding coastal environments.
