An integrated practice, by design.
Founded in 1998. Four European studios. One room, one team, from first sketch to final inspection.
Position
Meridian is a practice of 84 people. We do not do starchitecture. We do buildings that outlive their architects — thoughtfully sited, honestly detailed, and built to be repaired rather than replaced.
Every project runs through the same four-stage process, and every stage has both an architect and an engineer at the table. Most practices separate the two. We think that's where buildings go wrong.
Timeline

- 2009 Opened the Copenhagen studio. Started running structure in-house instead of subcontracting.
- 2015 Porto studio. Focus shifted toward adaptive reuse of industrial buildings.
- 2020 Milan studio. Crossed 300 completed projects.
- 2025 84 people across four studios. Still no investor.
