Architecture as a quiet practice.
Meaghan Hartgenger
Registered Architect · AIBC (Architectural Institute of British Columbia)
I believe a space — whether a home, a workplace, or a building shaped for the public — should work quietly in your favour, supporting the rhythm of your days rather than asking you to bend around it.
I'm a residential and commercial designer with a deep love for the slower, more considered side of architecture. My practice spans years of experience in architectural design across both residential and commercial projects, alongside years of work as a commercial designer for developers — shaping multi-family, mixed-use, and tenant-improvement projects from concept through delivery.
My passion lies in shaping spaces that blend beauty and function in meaningful ways — places that feel inevitable once you're inside them, even though every decision behind them was carefully weighed. Whether designing a private home or a commercial environment, my focus is on efficient yet elegant design and pragmatic, thoughtful solutions that recognise — and maximise — the experience of entering and moving through a space, the scale and proportion of its rooms, and the relationship between those rooms, their surroundings, and natural light.
As the founder of Hart Veritas Architecture, I work closely with a small number of residential and commercial clients each year so that every project receives the attention it deserves. In collaboration with trusted builders, developers, makers, and consultants, I bring together a love of natural materials, considered proportion, and a quiet contemporary sensibility — designing places that are honest, restrained, and built for the long term.
Site First
Every project begins with the land — its orientation, its memory, its weather.
Material Honesty
Stone, timber, plaster, and steel — used as themselves, allowed to age.
Lived-in Beauty
Beauty must serve life: how a family gathers, how light falls at four o'clock.
