NEXT architects is an architecture practice that covers the full spectrum of the architectural field. Since 1999 NEXT has explored the boundaries of its own discipline, and searched for areas that overlap with others. This exploratory attitude has resulted in a highly diverse portfolio that ranges from design products to urban plans.

NEXT architects owes its innovative character to the correlation between research practice and design practice. Being connected to the actual practice is vital to the development and exploration of the discipline, which doesn’t just concern the development of ideas, but also the concrete implications of those ideas. NEXT architects starts each project with an intensive workshop, approaching every commission openly and without prejudice, developing it from its essence.

NEXT architects are Bart Reuser, Marijn Schenk, Michel Schreinemachers and John van de Water. They trained at Delft University of Technology and teach at a number of educational institutes. Before starting NEXT architects, they worked for various leading Dutch architecture firms.
