Meridian House

Situated on a constrained suburban lot, the house is oriented to block glimpses of neighboring structures while framing views of wooded areas to create a private, inward-focused environment that is connected to the landscape beyond. The structure is defined by a continuous white rectilinear frame infilled with recessed planes of glass and long-format Roman brick. Influenced by the minimalist works of Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt, the frame floats above the ground plane emphasizing its sculptural presence. At the heart of the plan, a vaulted central atrium utilizes a light monitor and clerestory windows to diffuse soft north light, protecting the collection while creating an ethereal art-viewing space. This central gallery is bounded by private living areas, resulting in a hybrid architecture at the intersection of domestic life and art presentation.
