Studio

A practice sized for attention.

Meridian is deliberately small: a design director, two architects, and a model-maker. We run three projects at a time, attended personally from first sketch to last site visit.

How we work

Drawings, models, arguments.

Every Meridian project begins on paper and in card — plan arguments, massing studies, light diagrams you can hold under a lamp. The computer arrives when the idea can survive being rotated.

We produce full documentation sets and work alongside structural and services engineers we've collaborated with for years. Our drawings are famous among builders for answering questions before they're asked.

What we don't do

Volume work, drop-in "design services", or buildings that photograph well and live badly. If a brief needs a different practice, we'll say so — and usually name two.

Positioning

A note on registration.

Meridian is presented as a design concept by 188 Website Studio. On a live deployment, this page would accurately state the practice's NZRAB registration status and named registered architects. We don't display placeholder registration numbers — credentials are either real and verifiable, or clearly absent.
