OUR TEAM

MERAKI ARCHITECTS was founded in 2018 with a clear intention: to stay hands-on, human, and deeply invested in every project we take on. With a team of four, we collaborate closely on everything from big-picture design to the smallest detail. No silos. No egos. Just good people doing thoughtful work — together. We don’t just design buildings. We explain, sketch, redline, and teach — because that’s how everyone grows.
