Residential Architecture in Syracuse

Additions, Renovations, and Custom Homes

We work with homeowners and residential contractors across Syracuse and nearby communities. Our residential design services cover kitchen and room additions, structural changes, full custom homes, and everything in between. We are happy to address permitting, structure, and code requirements as part of our work for you.

We will look closely at existing systems, foundation conditions, and energy codes before we even begin drafting; the last thing we want is for your project to stall after construction has already begun.

Support for Larger Residential Projects

For larger or more complex homes, including those on multiple lots or in flood-prone areas, we help with full permitting sets and coordinate with your surveyor or site planner (note that we also handle preconstruction projects for many of our clients). We also prepare structural assessments, repair plans, and inspection reports if you're buying, selling, or addressing older damage. If you're trying to solve a design challenge or rework a difficult footprint, we'll help you think through the options and arrive at a workable solution.

Syracuse Commercial Architecture Services

We support business owners, developers, and franchise groups who need beautiful and functional commercial spaces that will pass review. Our projects include retail storefronts, restaurants, healthcare spaces, and mixed-use buildings throughout the Syracuse area.

You can trust us to meet occupancy requirements, egress needs, ADA standards, and mechanical systems. We understand that every commercial space has its own set of quirks and constraints. But we are confident that we can adapt plans to fit both your brand and the site conditions. Whether you're opening a small boutique or expanding a national chain, call us for a complimentary consultation.

Integrated Building Design

Structurally Sound and Thoughtfully Planned Buildings

At NEXTBLDG, our background in engineering shapes how we approach architectural design. That foundation helps us identify potential conflicts early and shape plans that are better aligned with how contractors actually want to build.

We're comfortable designing with wood, steel, CMU, and hybrid systems. Every design considers local load paths, structural performance, insulation strategies, and construction sequence. Zoning and permitting varies from Syracuse to  DeWitt, Fayetteville, and other areas; our attention to detail helps you avoid surprises down the road.

The Architecture Firm for Specialized Spaces

Offices, Retail, Medical, and Franchise Locations

Offices often require layouts that support team flow and privacy, and retail spaces need both customer-facing features and back-of-house functions for the staff. Along those lines, franchise locations need to follow brand guidelines while integrating with existing structures in most cases. And when it comes to medical facilities, you will need to grapple with strict health code requirements and equipment layouts that require extra coordination.

We take the time to understand how each space works or needs to work in the future. Our team gathers input from owners, users, and consultants early on, and we turn that into drawings that reflect the full picture. This collaborative approach leads to a smoother build process and better long-term outcomes.

Let's Talk About Your Project

We care about getting the design right, not just in concept but in practice. Our drawings are clean, accurate, and easy for builders to follow. We stay responsive throughout the process and are ready to help if something changes in the field.
