Interiors by Meyer

Defining a Materialism of the Vernacular

Unlike the Nakoma Residence, the Rockbrook Residence reveals a departure from the stark ubiquitous, white-walled interiors with subtle touches of exposed brick planes. Meyer’s dedication to creating spaces indicative of setting and environment became increasing apparent at the Rockbrook Residence.

Unadorned teak-paneled walls with fir eaves give this residential project a rich relationship to the Texas climate. With organic materials providing the primary backdrop for the public living spaces, Meyer reveals a growing sense of warmth and intimacy as new concerns in his body of work. The use of large amounts of this exotic material for architecture, furniture, and other feature allows for this residence to be unique within his oeuvre. Sources;
