Mendil + Meyer Design Studio Information

DESIGN + ARCHITECTURE + WELLNESS Founded by Anissa Mendil, WELL AP, and Ben Meyer, AIA, Mendil + Meyer Design Studio is a team of designers, architects and creatives who are committed to the creation of conscious, purposeful spaces that delight, relax, and heal. Whether we are working with a resort, restaurant, hotel or residential client, our process starts with research, an exploration into the project’s purpose. Its location and historical context, culture, business and market considerations, together with aesthetics and the functional needs of a space, are all considered from the outset, resulting in a cohesive, memorable and powerful gestalt. Given our European origins, our perspective is global, and this has served us well in understanding the diverse needs of different cultures when designing for clients serving an international clientele. Where possible, we look to incorporate ideas and materials that contribute to wellness and sustainability. Our experience has shown us that small incremental adjustments can make a huge difference. These changes may include incorporating natural elements to satisfy our innate need for a connection to nature; choosing non-toxic materials for improved air quality; incorporating ethically sourced materials that endure; or optimizing energy flow for enhanced wellbeing. As experienced professionals, we understand the importance of collaborative relationships built on empathy and trust. Guiding the project from start to finish, we recognize things change and there is always the need for responsiveness, resourcefulness and flexibility. This open, dynamic exchange also exists between the disciplines of architecture and design. Rather than existing in separate silos, we maintain a flow of ideas back and forth. Working in this way—from the “inside out” and the “outside in”—not only enhances the interplay of creative ideas, but also results in greater efficiency and ultimately, a better product.
