London's Design & Build Professionals - Now in Dubai
For over 15 years, #nu has transformed some of London’s most prestigious homes in locations such as Knightsbridge, Mayfair, and Belgravia, earning a reputation for integrity, excellence, and refined craftsmanship.
Our team of seasoned professionals is dedicated to delivering design and build solutions that reflect each client’s unique lifestyle and aspirations. From award-winning interior design by Sean Cochrane to architecture, construction, and bespoke fit-outs, we offer an end-to-end service tailored to discerning homeowners and businesses.
Whether it’s a luxury renovation or a full-scale construction project, we manage every detail—securing planning permissions, coordinating with structural engineers and surveyors, and ensuring a seamless experience from concept to completion.
Our presence in the Middle East is built on long-standing relationships. Founder Nick Jeffries has had a strong connection with the region since 2004, when he first met Said Mohammed Al Barwani, a respected Omani engineer with extensive business interests in Dubai. In 2005 and 2006, Nick and Said collaborated on several large-scale developments in Oman and the Indian Ocean, forging a professional relationship that has lasted over 20 years. Today, Said serves as the Chief Operating Officer of multiple companies across the UAE, including NU Projects Dubai and Oman.
#nu are proud to bring their signature style, heritage, and expertise to one of the world’s most vibrant markets—Dubai.
