Abstract: We introduce {em quadri-tilings} and show that they are in bijection with dimer models on a {em family} of graphs $R^{\ast }$ arising from rhombus tilings. Using two height functions, we interpret a sub-family of all quadri-tilings, called {em triangular quadri-tilings}, as an interface model in dimension 2+2. Assigning "critical" weights to edges of $R^{*}$, we prove an explicit expression, only depending on the local geometry of the graph $R^{*}$, for the minimal free energy per fundamental domain Gibbs measure; this solves a conjecture of cite{Kenyon1}. We also show that when edges of $R^{*}$ are asymptotically far apart, the probability of their occurrence only depends on this set of edges. Finally, we give an expression for a Gibbs measure on the set of {em all} triangular quadri-tilings whose marginals are the above Gibbs measures, and conjecture it to be that of minimal free energy per fundamental domain.
