Next Architecture

Founded by Daniel Delisio in 2003, NEXT architecture began with a simple, focused mission rooted in hiring talented individuals and allowing them to thrive in their field. With a deep understanding of what it means to perform and perform well, our team works collaboratively to develop high-quality design paired with elevated construction documentation and consistent principal involvement. Our process begins and ends with ensuring that every project has the attention it deserves.

The journey the firm has taken was not only influenced by a constantly expanding body of work, but also by the talent that very work has attracted. Since the company’s inception, NEXT has always been about people. This focus on both people and our core values has successfully attracted a wide client base but has also successfully gifted the firm with talented architects and designers.

NEXT architecture has always operated on a simple philosophy :

• We have no ego
• Every project is unique
• Challenges are opportunities

For the team at NEXT, core values operate as actions, not just words on a wall. This manifests itself in a few “non-negotiables” :

• Always do the right thing
• Treat everyone the way they wish to be treated
• Look at problems from a new and different angle
• Always do your best work
• Don’t make excuses – find solutions

With a commitment to differentiating ourselves from other firms, our team approaches each project with a collaborative point of view. This approach not only helps foster a collaborative environment but allows all team members to share ideas and offer professional critique when it serves the project’s goals.

Unlike other firms, NEXT’s design is not dictated by one person and does not maintain a signature style. With an equal focus on both architecture and interior design, the work is derived through the joint effort of many people within the firm across departments. This collective strategy allows our firm to put our focus on our clients and meet their needs while helping us maintain long-lasting client relationships built from trust and respect.

As NEXT looks to the future, the focus is not on growing headcount but instead on continual improvement of innovative design.

The firm’s long-term goal is to build a legacy by developing talented individuals, giving them a voice and assisting them with their growth as professionals. At NEXT, it is our belief that the best work comes through empowering its staff. There are no defined limits to what can be explored, especially when working together.
