Begin an inquiryWhat is Meridian Atelier?
Meridian Atelier is a principal-led residential design and advisory firm in Los Angeles.
It designs the building, interiors and landscape, draws the complete set a builder prices and builds from, and governs construction across Greater Los Angeles. The firm holds no construction contract; the contractor builds under its own agreement.
What does Meridian Atelier do?
Four services, from the first drawing to the finished home.
Design and Drawings
We design the building, interiors and landscape, and draw the complete set a builder prices and builds from.
Furniture and Art
We select the furniture, custom textiles and fine art, plan the layout of every room and catalog each piece.
White-Glove Delivery
We receive every piece, keep it in secure storage and install it in the finished home.
Contractor Oversight
We act as your owner's representative and manage the general contractor, legally and operationally, through completion.
What sets Meridian Atelier apart?
Each design answers to a rule, a builder and a place.
Named styles
Aesthetic Compositions
We start from a documented Aesthetic Composition, or curate one for your household, so every choice has a rule behind it.
Buildable drawings
The Library
We check every material and assembly against the Library before we draw it, and show you the reasoning behind each choice.
Enduring homes
Local expertise
We design for each territory's salt air, slopes, fire codes and sun.
The four parts of the firm
Each answers a different question.
Together they form the firm's own system: how it works, what it knows, who stands behind it and what it designs. Choose the part your question belongs to.
The Method
How the work runs
The initial assessment, the phases and the deliverables, from the first call to the last inspection.
The Library
How a house is built
The materials, the methods and the trades the firm specifies, then oversees on site.
The Firm
Who stands behind it
The Principal, the Meridian Engine (the firm's knowledge base and AI), the areas it serves and its case studies.
The Studio
What the firm designs
The styles, principles, rooms, parts and layout rules behind every design decision.
The inquiry
One conversation sets the project's direction.
Tell us about the property and the household. The Principal reads every inquiry himself, answers with the next step and makes no sales call.
