Nassour Architecture Office (NAO) is a Dubai-based collective of architects and engineers working across urban, architectural, installation, and research projects throughout the Middle East. Founded and led by architect Reem Nassour, the practice embraces a contextual and human-centered approach to design—one that responds to the specificity of place, the intimacy of human scale, and the embedded stories within each brief.

At NAO, space is seen as a conversation—between people, materials, forms and the environment. Through thoughtful, hands-on processes, the studio crafts spatial narratives that foster dialogue, connection, and a sense of belonging. Each project is shaped with intention, merging the tactile sensibility of the human hand with broader cultural and environmental frameworks allowing architecture to serve as a backdrop for life to unfold.

Overseeing projects from initial concept through licensing and execution, NAO offers a holistic and hands-on approach to space-making. The studio merges architectural theory with rigorous practice, ensuring that each project—regardless of scale—is both conceptually grounded and precisely delivered. With a growing portfolio across the UAE, NAO is currently executing residential, institutional, retail, and infrastructural projects. Recent completions include EA Residence, a 1,900 sqm private villa in Umm Al Sheif that personifies domestic spatiality, and Sadeem’s Pop-Up in Marsa Drive—a temporary installation conceived and executed in 7 days.
