Back to the 2014 AD100 List

This past fall Richard Meier celebrated the 50th year of his distinguished practice. Expanding upon a portfolio that includes such icons as the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Rachofsky House in Dallas, the firm—which has offices in New York and L.A.—recently completed a captivating private club in Shenzhen, China, and construction is wrapping up on a 42-story luxury apartment tower in Tel Aviv. These projects remain true to the Pritzker Prize winner’s signature aesthetic: arresting modernist forms, abundant glass (and natural light), and, of course, expanses of white. “The principles that guide us are not unique to period, style, or context,” Meier says. “Whether we’re designing a museum, hotel, or residence, we strive to create works of beauty and elegance that enhance particular environments.” richardmeierom
