Meraki Solutions is a full-service architecture, interior design, planning, and virtual design & construction (VDC) firm. We support real estate developers with efficient, high-quality design delivery across all project stages.
We help real estate firms reduce design costs significantly, saving millions over time. Our model delivers practical, scalable solutions that drive consistent results without compromising on design quality or timelines.
ARCHITECTURE & PLANNING – We support real estate developers from the earliest stages of a project, helping shape site strategy, assess feasibility, and develop clear, efficient design solutions. Our approach balances creativity with practical execution, ensuring each project meets both design and business goals.
INTERIOR DESIGN – We design interiors that reflect each client’s identity and goals, creating spaces that are both refined and highly functional. Whether working within set standards or establishing new ones, our focus is always on clarity, purpose, and experience.
VIRTUAL DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION (VDC) – Our VDC services improve coordination, reduce risk, and enhance constructability from the start, enabling a smoother, more cost-effective transition from design to execution.
OUR PROCESS
PRE – DESIGN:
In the pre-design phase, we take the time to understand your vision, goals, and the context of your site. This stage involves thorough research, feasibility studies, and initial discussions to define the project’s scope, budget, and schedule. By exploring possibilities early and gathering all necessary information, we set a strong foundation that ensures every design decision moving forward is informed, strategic, and aligned with your objectives.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN:
During the schematic design phase, we translate your vision into tangible concepts, exploring layouts, spatial relationships, and design aesthetics. We create preliminary drawings and diagrams that illustrate the form and function of the project, allowing you to visualize the overall direction. This collaborative stage ensures that the design meets your goals while balancing functionality, budget, and regulatory requirements before moving into more detailed development.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT:
In the design development phase, we refine the chosen schematic concepts, adding detail and clarity to every aspect of the project. This includes specifying materials, building systems, interior layouts, and architectural features, while coordinating with engineers and consultants. The goal is to resolve all design elements, ensuring they are fully integrated, functional, and aligned with your vision before construction documentation begins.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION:
Once the design is fully developed, we create detailed construction documents that guide builders and tradespeople in bringing the project to life. These drawings and specifications provide precise instructions for materials, dimensions, and installation, ensuring clarity and accuracy on-site. By coordinating closely with all consultants and stakeholders, we minimize errors, streamline construction, and help ensure the finished project matches the intended design vision.
