XR / Built Environment2026

NEXTExperience space
before it exists.

We visualise and create immersive, interactive applications that turn designs into spatial experiences people can enter, test and understand.

01 / ABOUT NEXT

Design is difficult to communicate when space is flattened into an image. We make it experiential.

Next is a technology solutions company focused on interactive spatial experiences. We combine architectural intelligence with real-time technology to communicate the built environment more clearly.

As the immersive technology arm of Imagine This Studio, we work at the intersection of design, storytelling and emerging XR tools.

02 / WHAT WE DO

Spatial ideas,
made tangible.

From design communication to immersive decision-making.

01

Interactive spatial experiences

Applications that let clients, communities and collaborators explore a proposal—not simply look at it.

02

Immersive visualisation

Real-time environments that communicate architecture, infrastructure and place with clarity and atmosphere.

03

XR for the built environment

Virtual and mixed-reality tools that make complex spatial ideas easier to test, understand and share.

03 / SELECTED EXPERIENCES

Work you don’t
just watch. You enter.

04 / THE GROUP

Built from design.
Driven by what’s next.

Next is part of Imagine This Studio, a multidisciplinary practice co-founded by award-winning architects and urban designers Jose Moturi and Josephine Mwambo.

The group moves between imagination, design and building—connecting physical space with new ways of seeing, testing and experiencing it.
