MERIDIAN Studio
Architecture & planning — Portland, Oregon
Architecture of proportion, daylight, and patience.
Meridian is a small practice. We design houses, pavilions, and public buildings — slowly, at full scale, and only a few at a time.

Corten Pavilion

A plastered stair and a shared courtyard bind two small workshop buildings into one address.
02Philosophy
A building should be simple to read, generous with daylight, and indifferent to fashion.
We repeat ourselves on purpose: masonry, timber, concrete. The same few materials, drawn again and again until the details disappear and only the room is left.
