Our Team

Our Two International Architects have been hand picked because of their vast experience with complex and amazing Architectural Design vision and capabilities. They’ve worked in steel framing design and have finished projects that are completed around the world. Our two Architects currently have their own branding and feel they want to keep their companies separate from our brand, this way we can focus on our vision as Next Generation Living Homes.  However, we are more than happy to disclose their incredible backgrounds here.

Jean-Pierre (JP) DZahr Founder & CEO comes from a family line of renowned architects, namely his father who got him into architectural drafting before the age of computer-aided design. His father was appointed by President Richard Nixon in 1968 to 1970 to develop a mass transit monorail system in Seattle and to the Eastside Bellevue. The scope of the project was estimated at about $1 billion dollars, due to Washington States increased taxes for the project it was not completed.

Today, Mr. DZahr has come full circle as CEO and Founder of Next Gen Living Homes, as a visionary and futurist using modern day advanced architectural concept design & 3D rendering illustrations to launch his dream home series. As the CEO & Chief Project Manager for Next Generation Living Homes Mr. DZahr is the visionary and conceptual thought leader of all architectural projects designed here. Mr. DZahr, CEO of Next Generation Living Homes, states; “We are in an age of technology enlightenment. So far, we’ve been looking at home purchases from the bottom up, asking ourselves: Can I afford this home? Now, can we start looking from the top down, asking instead: What can I have, if I have a self-paying home?” What we have here is both Innovating and creating Real value! Seen here. Next Generation Living Homes is bringing this paradigm shift in home ownership by making the self-paying home available to everyone.
