International architecture firm NKEY Architects has relocated its global headquarters to Dubai following sustained growth in the Middle East, according to Gulf News.

The company, which operates from offices in Dubai, the United States, Canada, and Ukraine, has delivered over 500 projects across more than 45 countries.

Founded in 2018, NKEY Architects provides architecture, interior design, and turnkey solutions across residential and commercial sectors. The decision to establish Dubai as the company's global headquarters follows sustained growth in the Middle East, which now accounts for approximately 80 per cent of NKEY's active client portfolio.

Since 2022, the company has strategically shifted its development focus toward international markets, beginning with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, before expanding into the United States with projects delivered in Beverly Hills and Miami. This accelerated geographic growth, combined with more than 500 active projects globally, including over 300 in the UAE, underscored the need for a centralised headquarters.

Natalia Melnyk, founder of NKEY Architects, said: "For NKEY, architecture is a language through which people can gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Our philosophy, 'NKEY. Unlock your inner self,' reflects our mission to help clients — from families to progressive, forward-thinking young people — release internal limitations and unlock their personal and life potential through space."

The firm's portfolio centres on premium and ultra-luxury residential projects, large residential communities, and apartments, alongside select commercial developments across retail, hospitality, business centres, and mixed-use concepts. One of NKEY's most ambitious current projects is the development of a large-scale shopping mall in Marrakech, Morocco.

With a growing team of over 100 professionals, the relocation positions the firm at the centre of one of the world's most dynamic design markets.
