Interior Designer · Abu Dhabi

Interior design in Abu Dhabi — considered, not conspicuous.

Abu Dhabi tends to want its interiors calmer than its neighbour does, which suits how NYKS works.

What a project in Abu Dhabi asks for

Villas and family compounds, apartments, workspaces and institutional or cultural interiors.

Materials, climate and what actually lasts

The climate problem is the same as the rest of the Gulf — extreme heat, glare, fine dust — and the answers are the same: shading, reveals, glazing specification, and joinery detailed for dust rather than against it. Larger family villas need acoustic and spatial planning so that generous volumes feel composed rather than empty.

How we work in Abu Dhabi

Family compounds often mean phased work across several buildings and a brief that has to satisfy more than one household. We plan the sequence and the shared decisions early.

NYKS is a turnkey studio: the same people who draw the room are accountable for the room that gets built — design, artisan commissioning, procurement, site execution and handover. We do not take styling-only engagements. More about the studio and how it works is on the about page.

Questions about working with NYKS in Abu Dhabi

Does NYKS take projects in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Abu Dhabi is one of the international cities the studio works in, with design run from the studio and site presence scheduled around the decisive stages.

How are large family villas approached?

With restraint and planning. Generous volumes need spatial and acoustic thought or they read as empty; the aim is composed, not filled.

Can a project be phased across several buildings?

Yes. Compound projects usually are, and the sequence and shared decisions are planned at the start.

What is the climate specification?

Shading, deep reveals and glazing performance for heat and glare, and joinery detailed with fine dust in mind.
