We connect people to place through distinctive, engaging design and specialise in integrating transformational projects into sensitive historic and cultural settings. We create value by intimately connecting our architecture to the city, creating long-term adaptability and enhancing the public realm. Our projects bring people together through flexibly programmed spaces that are platforms for social interaction. We enjoy creating dynamic places that change through time and accommodate different uses. Our buildings and spaces are distinguished by their atmosphere. We prioritise sensory experience and our sensitivity to volume, material, texture, light and sound is perceived through meticulous design and beautiful craftsmanship. Our work has been published and exhibited internationally and has received numerous awards and commendations. Nex are a RIBA / RIAI Chartered Architects, Urban Designers and Client Advisors, working on projects around the world from our base in central London.

We have collaborated with ambitious clients including the Architectural Association, British Land, Ballymore, RAF Museum, Cadogan Estates, Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, The Times, Facebook, Mercedes F1, Science Museum, the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and U+I.
