A thatched gazebo isn't just a seating area. It's where the real conversations happen. β˜•

Designing an outdoor thatched gazebo is one of our favourite briefs in the UAE and Saudi Arabia β€” it has to work for family gatherings and formal hosting, stay cool through summer, and feel unmistakably like home.

Here's a look at one of our sunken thatch gazebo builds in Dubai β€” built-in seating, a fire pit, and a swim-up pool bar just steps away.

A question every property manager eventually asks: what actually survives daily use, salt air, and five years of guests? 🏊

When we built the poolside gazebo for a residential community in Spain, that was the brief β€” not just "make it beautiful," but make it hold up. Natural thatch and timber framing, built for exactly this kind of high-traffic, all-season use.

The same question comes up constantly across our resort and community projects in the UAE and Saudi Arabia β€” shared amenities take more punishment than any private garden, and cheaper materials show it fast.

If you manage a community, resort, or hospitality property and you're weighing up shade structures for a shared space, we'd genuinely like to talk it through. πŸ”— link in comments.

🌿 Latest Project: Estepona, Spain 🌿

Our newest residential build has just been completed β€” and the views speak for themselves 😍

At this private residence in Estepona, Cape Reed brought the outdoors to life with:
β†’ A stunning natural timber deck
β†’ Numerous handcrafted wooden pergolas
β†’ A timber carport
β†’ Custom wooden balustrades framing panoramic hillside and coastal views

Now it's the perfect spot for a slow morning coffee or watching the sun dip over the hills in the evening!

And of course... even the resident pups approve 🐾 Nothing beats a nap in the afternoon sun on a freshly finished Cape Reed deck!

Inside Cape Reed's Projects in Saudi Arabia: From Misk School to Red Sea Global

There are projects that you deliver. And then there are projects that stay with you. 🌊

Six Senses AMAALA on the Red Sea. Misk School in Riyadh. Shura Island. These are not just building sites β€” they are part of one of the most extraordinary national transformations happening anywhere in the world right now.

Cape Reed has had the privilege of contributing to some of Saudi Arabia's most ambitious Vision 2030 developments β€” delivering certified timber pergolas, shading structures, beach cabanas, and outdoor environments that meet the extraordinary standards these projects demand.

We've shared the full story of our Saudi Arabia journey on the blog. If you're curious about what Cape Reed is building in the Kingdom β€” and what the future of outdoor design looks like in this part of the world β€” this one's worth your time.

Every reed is laid by hand. Every single one. 🌾

In the Western Cape, the craft of thatching is passed down generation to generation β€” patience, precision, and skill that no machine replicates. When our thatchers arrive on a site in Dubai, Marbella, or Lisbon, that heritage travels with them.

It's the part of the process people see least and appreciate most once they know it's there.

Un jardín no necesita ser grande. Necesita ser tuyo. 🌿

A wooden pergola does something simple but powerful for a Spanish garden β€” it turns an outdoor space you walk past into one you actually sit in. Morning coffee in the shade, long summer dinners, somewhere the whole family gravitates to without being asked twice.

Naturally together.

Why Is Thatching Eco-Friendly and Sustainable?

In a world that's thinking more carefully about what we build with and how we build β€” thatch has a remarkable story to tell. 🌱

Cape Reed is one of nature's most renewable roofing materials. It grows back season after season, sequesters carbon as it grows, requires no industrial manufacturing process, and at the end of its life, returns naturally to the earth. Low embodied energy. No harmful byproducts. Just nature, doing what it does best.

Pair that with timber, and what Cape Reed builds isn't just beautiful β€” it's genuinely good for the planet.

We've written about the eco-credentials of thatching in full β€” the science, the sustainability, and why more architects and developers are specifying natural materials than ever before.

It's worth a read 🌿

Comporta doesn't rush. Neither should your roof. 🌾

A telhado de colmo β€” thatched roof β€” has been part of this coastline's character for generations. At Villa Colmo, we brought that same natural texture to a private residence among the dunes and pine forests, using premium Thamnochortus insignis thatch built to handle the Atlantic coast for decades, not seasons.

Timber, texture, and skyline views. πŸŒ™

Our latest project brings laminated iroko timber pergolas to Pepe Restaurant at Address Beach Resort, Dubai β€” an outdoor bar and dining space with front-row views of Ain Dubai and the marina skyline.

πŸ‘‰ Laminated iroko timber structure, engineered for durability in Dubai's coastal climate
πŸ‘‰ Woven canopy detailing filtering light and shade across the bar and lounge areas
πŸ‘‰ Integrated fans and ambient lighting for year-round comfort, day or night
πŸ‘‰ Framed sightlines to Ain Dubai and the Dubai Marina waterfront
πŸ‘‰ Soft greenery styling for a natural, elevated hospitality feel

From structure to atmosphere, this is what happens when engineering meets exclusive living.

POV: this is what "custom" actually looks like. 🌾

Not a catalogue order. Not off-the-shelf. Just raw timber, carried by hand, shaped into a roofline that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Every angle of these structures was designed for this exact site β€” the light, the sightlines, the way shade should fall through the day. That's the part people don't see: long before it looks effortless, it starts as poles on someone's shoulder and a plan only our team can see yet.

This is the process behind every Cape Reed build, from a private villa to a five-star resort. 🌿
