nicholas.design was established in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain in 2024, bringing together an experienced international team under the leadership of founding director Nicholas Bonaventure.

Nicholas has practised architecture across the GCC and internationally for more than 30 years. His earlier career produced some of the region's most recognisable building projects: the Bahrain World Trade Center, Durrat Al Bahrain, Durrat Al Bahrain Marina and designs for the Al Sharq Office Tower in Kuwait City, an award-winning commercial high-rise recognised at the Arabian Property Awards and selected for a MIPIM Future Projects Award.

After a decade practising internationally, he returned to the Gulf to establish nicholas, a studio built on a single conviction: that design excellence and commercial performance are not in tension, but are two interwoven and inseparable parts of the same objective when pursued rigorously.

nicholas.design operates from the Bahrain World Trade Center, the city's most recognisable landmark, with active commissions across the GCC, MENA, the Indian subcontinent, and beyond.
