Not every idea leaves the sketchbook and that’s part of the process. While this version of the pool house remained on paper, the pool itself was brought to life and turned out beautifully!

Line by line, the design comes to life. A glimpse into John Meyer’s process.
We’ve been combing through decades of hand-drawn sketches, organizing thousands of pieces of trace, vellum, and ink-stained paper. Each one tells a story — not just of a home, but of an approach to design that’s becoming increasingly rare.
Let us know in the comments if you think we should turn this into a book — a collection that celebrates the lost art of architectural sketching and the creative process behind every line.

A space designed for pause, presence, and quiet beauty. This Tea House was designed by Meyer & Meyer as a place for contemplation and restoration — where architecture, landscape, and ritual exist in harmony.
Invited to bring this vision to life, Opus embraced the complexity of the structure and the precision of its details, translating design into craft with intention and care.
A project shaped by shared principles, collaboration, and deep respect for the experience it creates.

The third and final phase of design for this historic home in the Gaslight District of Charlestown included the construction of this gorgeous garage and rooftop that is an outdoor living space connected to the recently renovated kitchen.
Designed to endure. Every stone, arch, and turret was imagined not just for effect, but for permanence. At dusk, the home glows from within, revealing the craftsmanship and intention layered into every facade.

The first step in bringing our drawings to life in three dimensions, crafting cardboard models of the home and sketching directly onto them. This process helps express color, material, and texture in a way that feels tangible and true, offering a realistic sense of how the architecture will take shape.
