Architecture as a quiet practice.

Founder

Meaghan Hartgenger, Architect AIBC

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 registered architect 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 Inc., 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.

Principle

Site First

Every project begins with the land: its orientation, its memory, its weather.

Principle

Material Honesty

Stone, timber, plaster, and steel, used as themselves, allowed to age.

Principle

Lived-in Beauty

Beauty must serve life: how a family gathers, how light falls at four o'clock.

"We don't design buildings. We design the way a place will feel for the next hundred years."
