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.

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.
