Darlington Meier

Darlington Meier Architects operate confidently across various scales – from residential buildings to urban interventions. A keen sense of the impact of classical design elements and the harmonious use of materials characterizes the designs of the Zurich-based firm, as does their commitment to creating places with specific identities. This is largely attributed to the influence of Peter Zumthor, under whom Stephan Meier and Mark Darlington worked as project managers before becoming independent in 2004. The Mathilde Escher Home for physically disabled adults in Zurich, realized by them, is a strikingly confident urban statement that also manages to convey a residential atmosphere.
