NEXT Architecture is a design firm based in Dallas, TX focusing on sustainability, diversity, and inclusion to foster growth and learning. This design draws inspiration from the famous Katy Trail and how human interactions in nature are translated into the office, impacting the forms in which employees gather and work. The colors and materiality are reflective of the surrounding landscape. Incorporating biophilia was essential in creating a bright, inviting atmosphere that facilitates connection and adapts to workplace needs.
