At NEXT Architects, we believe architecture should do more than respond to a brief. It should enrich everyday life, connect people with place, and create lasting value.
Through thoughtful design, collaboration and attention to detail, we create spaces that are purposeful, enduring and responsive to their context. From the way a space feels to the way it performs, every decision is considered with the people who will experience it in mind.
We design for today while thinking about what comes next — creating places that evolve, endure and inspire better living.

Founder & Principal Architect
I grew up in Laguna Niguel, California and graduated with my Bachelors of Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona in 2010. I worked for five different architecture firms in California, and during my second year of architecture school, I designed my first website for a residential architect in Southern California. That began my lifelong career of designing websites for interior designers, architects, real estate developers, and custom home builders in regions like Los Angeles, San Francisco & New York City. My wife and I moved to the countryside of Dallas, Texas area in 2017 to raise our 4 kids on our custom home built on ten acres. My experience naturally works best for residential design firms that want to impress the highest-end clientele with their website.
At Next Architects, we create purposeful spaces through a collaborative and considered approach, combining architecture, interior and detail to enrich how people live, work and experience place.
We offer complete architectural services, from the first sketch through to the final handover. Whether it’s a home, multi-residential development, or commercial space, we take the time to understand your needs and create design solutions that are functional, thoughtful, and tailored to your brief and budget.
Our interior design service ensures every space works seamlessly with the architecture. We carefully consider how you’ll use each room and layer in materials, finishes, and details that enhance everyday living while reflecting your style.
We handle the town planning process on your behalf, from site feasibility through to preparing and submitting applications. We work closely with councils and consultants to help your project progress smoothly and meet all local requirements.
From day one, we manage your project with clarity and care. We coordinate consultants, monitor progress, and stay across every detail to make sure everything runs to plan, keeping you informed and supported every step of the way.
Next Architects, established in 2018, operates from a dynamic studio in Melbourne. Specializing in residential, commercial, and boutique house extensions, the practice delivers innovative and tailored design solutions that reflect the unique needs of each project.
The firm’s expertise extends to projects involving heritage contexts and adaptive reuse, such as transforming an apartment building into a thoughtfully designed rooming house. Notable works, including the BMAK Medical Centre, highlight the practice’s ability to merge functionality with design excellence.
In addition to architectural and interior design services, Next Architects provides comprehensive guidance through all project stages, from feasibility studies and schematic design to design development, tender documentation, and site inspections.
