A studio built on shared conviction
Meridian House is a collective of designers, technologists, and project managers who came together around a single belief — that the finest homes are the ones that feel entirely effortless to live in.
Different disciplines, one language
Meridian House is the inspiration of leaders and experts in the fields of interior design, technology, and project manatement who spent years working at the edges of their respective fields — interior designers frustrated by technology that felt bolted on, technologists who wanted their work to disappear into beautiful spaces, project managers who believed that the gap between a great design and a great outcome was almost always a management problem.
Our services are presently spread across the Western Cape, Gauteng, Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal and we are on a rapid expansion path into the rest of South Africa as well as Sub Sarahan Africa. Our clients expect their homes to be beautiful, intelligent, and seamlessly delivered. Meeting that expectation required a studio that could hold all three disciplines under one roof, with each one informing the others from the very first conversation.
Meridian House takes on a select number of projects each year — enough to give every client our full and undivided attention. We work attentively, deliberately, and with a confidence that the best results are never compromised.
The principles we return to
Restraint
We believe in removing, not adding. Every element in a Meridian House project earns its place — nothing is decorative for its own sake.
Craft
We work with makers, not just suppliers. The difference between a good room and an exceptional one is almost always in the quality of what you cannot immediately see.
Integration
Technology should be invisible. When a home's systems are designed alongside its interiors — not after — the result is a space that responds to you without demanding your attention.
Longevity
We design for the long term. Trends are interesting; they are not a foundation. A Meridian House interior should feel as considered in twenty years as it does on the day you move in.
The people behind the work
A confident and dedicated team — every project is led by a trusted member from first conversation to final handover.
Brogan Poulton
Brogan leads the Meridian House team and elicits the confidence of our valued clientele. She holds a wealth of knowledge and experience in the design fraternity and provides inspiration to the team that she leads. Her natural instinct for space and material is both rigorous and deeply personal.
Cara Marriott
