A Portland studio shaping residential & commercial architecture with quiet, enduring craft — fifteen years of award-winning work across the Pacific Northwest.
We believe architecture is not about buildings. It is about the light that moves through them, the way a room holds a morning, and how a space quietly shapes the life lived inside it.
A cedar-clad family home framing the Willamette treeline.
Adaptive reuse of a 1920s ironworks into creative offices.
Warm minimalism for a Pearl District roastery.
A passive-house retreat tucked into the West Hills.
A flagship retail interior in cross-laminated timber.
A renovation that doubled daylight without an addition.
Every Meridian project begins with where the sun lands at 8am and 6pm. We design openings, depth and palette around it — so a space feels alive at every hour.

Offices, retail and adaptive reuse that perform for business and feel unmistakably yours.
Material palettes, lighting and millwork detailing that finish a space with intention.
The architect who designs your project is in every meeting — start to handover.

Sketches, massing and a clear design direction you can see and touch.
Drawings, permits and materials — fully coordinated with engineers.
We stay on through construction to protect the design intent to the detail.
"Meridian understood our home before we could describe it. Fifteen months later we live in the most light-filled space we've ever known — and they were a pleasure the whole way."
Fees are typically a percentage of construction cost and vary by scope. After a free first conversation we give you a clear, fixed-phase proposal — no obligation.
A custom home usually runs 12–18 months from first sketch to move-in. We map the full timeline in the Discovery phase.
