Residential Design
Custom homes and additions planned around your household's daily rhythm — from first sketch through move-in day, with a builder relationship we manage closely.
Austin, Texas · Est. 2009
Architecture that answers to climate, craft, and how people actually live.
Meridian Studio designs homes, workplaces, and adaptive reuse projects across Central Texas — grounded in careful siting, honest materials, and a construction budget that survives contact with reality.
What We Design
Six disciplines, one design philosophy
Every project starts with the same questions: how does light move through the day, what does the site already know, and what will still feel right in thirty years. From there, our services branch to fit the problem.
Commercial & Workplace
Offices, retail, and mixed-use buildings designed to perform for the people who staff them and hold their value for the people who own them.
Renovation & Adaptive Reuse
Older buildings carry value new construction can't replicate. We re-sequence structure, systems, and light to bring them fully into use again.
Sustainable & Passive Design
Orientation, shading, and envelope performance come first — before equipment. The result is lower operating cost and a building that's comfortable on its own.
Interior Architecture
Millwork, material palettes, and lighting design carried through from the architectural drawings, so the inside of a building feels considered, not decorated on top.
Permitting & Planning
We navigate zoning, historic overlay districts, and City of Austin permitting directly, so approvals move forward while design keeps its momentum.
The Studio
Built by architects who still draw by hand first
Meridian Studio was founded in 2009 by a small group of architects who felt Austin's growth deserved buildings with more patience in them. We're still a deliberately small practice — every project is led by a principal from the first site walk to the final punch list, not handed off between departments.
We work in a narrow, well-worn process: understand the site and the budget honestly, explore more options than feels comfortable, and then commit fully to the one that earns it. Central Texas heat, limestone geology, and increasingly strict water constraints all shape the work before a single finish gets chosen. The result is architecture that looks calm because the hard decisions were made early, not architecture that looks calm because it avoided them.

“They asked harder questions about how we actually live than any architect we'd talked to, and the house is better for it. Nothing about it feels generic.”
“Our office renovation stayed on schedule through a permitting process that could easily have derailed it. Meridian handled the city entirely.”
“The building runs cooler than anything we've operated before, and it didn't come from expensive equipment — it came from the design itself.”
