NEX2 Architecture
Designing what's next for you.
Your Next Project Starts Here
Whether it's a new home, a business, or a bold idea, we combine insight, experience, and expertise to realize your vision.
Drawing on 28+ years of architectural practice and nearly a decade of construction, our founder and principal architect, David Lee, AIA works personally with you to guide each project toward decisions that maximize impact without spiraling costs. We don't just design your dream; we design for your budget and your timeline.
Based in Aurora and licensed across Colorado, we bring deep familiarity with Front Range jurisdictions, codes, and climate so your project moves through review, permitting, and construction with someone who knows the local territory.
Personalized Expertise
At NEX2, every project is led personally by our Founder and Principal Architect David Lee with over 28+ years of experience spanning custom homes, multifamily, religious, commercial, and high-rise work at some of the top architecture firms in the nation. From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, you work directly with David shaping your vision while keeping your design grounded in what it takes to build.


A True Design Partner
The best projects come from real partnership. That's why we stay closely engaged with you throughout the process. When questions arise or conditions change, we respond quickly and practically, keeping the project moving and communication clear. You'll always know where things stand and who to call.
Built for What's Next
Your building isn't just a project, it's a place where people will live, worship, work, or gather for years to come. We bring top-end expertise to every decision, creating spaces that are timeless in feel and thoughtful in detail. And throughout the process, we'll keep you informed and involved at every step so that by the end, you're ready for what comes next.
