The people behind NextSpace

Martin keeps one eye on the big picture and the other on the details that make a project work. As Co-Founder and CEO, he brings commercial discipline, clear decisions and an inconvenient habit of spotting problems before they become expensive.

Laurence brings a rare combination of creativity, commercial instinct and an exceptional network of trusted relationships. Working across design, finishes and commercial direction, he ensures every project feels cohesive, distinctive and carefully considered.

Patricia brings four decades of artistic and cultural insight from the Middle East to our thinking. She looks beyond what is merely beautiful, asking what a place means, remembers and contributes.

Design may speak for itself, but Esra prefers not to leave that to chance. As a design strategist, she sharpens ideas, positioning and communication so strong work is understood, valued and remembered.

Bianca leads NextSpace in South Africa with deep market knowledge, genuine warmth and a talent for turning connections into collaborations. A trail runner, hiker and sea kayaker, she has strong views on outdoor living because she actually spends time outdoors.

Islam speaks both design and delivery. With a background in architecture and experience across major hospitality projects, he turns ambitious concepts into tailored solutions that can actually be specified, built and delivered.

Noor turns promising conversations into lasting relationships and new opportunities into well structured projects. She brings commercial instinct, natural warmth and a very good sense of when to listen and when to move things forward.

Kristyna leads our efforts in Qatar, building relationships and guiding projects with clarity, precision and a strong understanding of the local market. She makes sure every opportunity receives the attention it deserves and every detail is followed through.

Few people understand outdoor furniture from the factory floor to the finished project quite like Wayne. He brings three decades of technical and commercial experience and two Dragon Boat world championship gold medals, so persistence comes as standard.

Nauman makes everything you see online happen and quite a lot that you never notice. He turns ideas into polished digital experiences, ensuring NextSpace looks as considered on screen as it does in real life.
