MERRITT DESIGN

Art and Architecture Studio that offers a full service architecture designs and white-glove executions. Our design standards follow nature’s teachings with modern materials. Nature teaches us to use our 5 senses; we design for human comfort; not for trends, likes, overly simplified debate of form over function, or styles. We design to the specific site to the human body to bring delight to our dwellings.
