House on the point
A long, low house that keeps its back to the road and its rooms to the water.

An architecture studio in Suva
Buildings that know
how to be quiet.
Meridian Atelier designs houses and small public buildings across Fiji. Few projects a year, each drawn slowly, around light.
Taking commissions for 2027
One window lit at dusk,

The practice
Built once, drawn many times.
Losana Turaga opened the studio in 2017 after eleven years with a Melbourne practice. The work is small on purpose: a handful of buildings a year, each site visited at every hour of the day before a line is drawn.
