The Timber Fin Villa, a villa design study in the UAE

A travertine villa with vertical timber fins at its windows, planned around an olive courtyard and a double-height atrium. Shown as design visualisations.

The Timber Fin Villa is a villa design study in the UAE by LKYOOB, an architecture and engineering company in Dubai. The images on this page are design visualisations, rendered from the studio's drawings before construction. They are not photographs of a finished building.

The house is clad in travertine, with vertical timber fins set into the window openings and a single tall fin marking the corner. An entrance court holds an olive tree between glazed walls, framed by a travertine portal, and the front elevation sits low over a lawn.

Inside, a double-height atrium with black-framed glazing and marble feature walls looks onto the courtyard tree, a family room takes a marble television wall, a living room pairs a brown marble wall with a stone coffee table, the dining room shares a marble island with bookshelves, and the majlis sets green armchairs and a curved sofa between tall windows. The set was drawn in two iterations and rendered before construction; none of it is a photograph.
