Philosophy

NEXT architecture provides the full range of architectural and interior design services. These services include strategic and master planning, programming, design, image and branding consultation, project management, furniture selection, change and move management and engineering consultation. We pride ourselves in the ability to provide clients with a broad range of experience, a strong work ethic and the commitment to service from start to finish on each project.

NEXT architecture focuses on people; creating and maintaining lasting client relationships. Our solutions strive to enhance the experience of space, context and craftsmanship. NEXT architecture is in business to serve our clients and dedicate ourselves to meeting their expectations. We have no ego: every project is unique; it allows us to ask “what’s next?” always looking for new ideas, always looking forward. NEXT architecture does not impose design ideals on our clients; rather our projects are a direct result of listening to their needs and budgetary guidelines through which we develop solutions that are appropriate. We do not take opportunities that test us lightly: we revel in the challenges that open our mind and expand our talents.
