Our Services
New construction, additions, interior architecture, or a full commercial build-out — schedule a consultation and Merideth's team will walk you through exactly what your project needs.
From first sketch to final walkthrough, we design custom homes that respond to the site, the climate, and how you actually want to live — not a catalog plan with your name on it.

Schedule a Consultation →Licensure & Process
Every project includes complete, code-compliant construction documents and direct coordination with the City of Austin (or the relevant jurisdiction) through permit approval — you don't have to navigate that process on your own.
Merideth Cole is a licensed architect in Texas and an AIA member. Every design follows LEED-informed practices as a default, not an upcharge — passive solar orientation and high-performance envelopes are considered from the first sketch.
Questions
A home addition or renovation typically runs 3-5 months for design and documents, plus construction time. A full custom home usually runs 6-9 months for design, permitting, and construction documents before construction even starts. We'll give you a realistic timeline specific to your project scope at the first consultation.
Yes. Every project includes complete, code-compliant construction documents and direct coordination with the City of Austin (or the relevant surrounding jurisdiction) through permit approval — you don't have to navigate that process yourself.
A licensed architect like Merideth is trained and tested in structural safety, code compliance, and construction administration — and can stamp construction documents for permitting. A designer may create beautiful concepts but typically can't take a project through permitting and construction the same way.
Yes — new residential construction, additions and renovations, interior architecture, and commercial or light-industrial projects. Whatever the project type, the same design and documentation process applies, scaled to the scope.
Passive solar orientation, high-performance building envelopes, and thoughtful material sourcing meaningfully lower long-term energy costs and improve comfort — without requiring an unusual or compromised aesthetic. We build these principles into every project by default, not as an upcharge.
