What We Do

01

PRIVATE HOUSES

Houses shaped around how a family actually moves through a day.

02

WORKPLACE

Interiors for work that stay calm as the company changes around them.

03

ADAPTIVE REUSE

Giving old buildings a second, more useful life without erasing them.

04

ADVISORY

Feasibility, site strategy, and design review before a line is drawn.

ABOUT

Design Philosophy

We think good architecture is mostly subtraction. What's left should hold light well, age honestly, and stay quiet enough that the people inside are the loudest thing in the room.

Meridian Atelier was founded in 2011 and has delivered 140 projects across housing, workplace, and cultural buildings. Every one starts with a long site visit and a longer conversation.

APPROACH

Listening

Weeks on site and with clients before any drawing

Craft

Working directly with engineers, fabricators, and builders
