About

Dean Meredith Architecture is an award-winning residential architecture firm at 1125 Camino Del Mar, Suite A, Del Mar, CA 92014, established in 1991 by principal architect Dean Meredith. A native San Diegan who studied architecture in Arizona, Meredith draws heavy influence from Frank Lloyd Wright, favoring long horizontal lines accented by diagonals and sharp angles in his custom home designs. That philosophy is on full display at Hale Kai, the oceanfront home he designed for himself and his wife Monica on a hillside east of Camino Del Mar, which was featured in San Diego Magazine. The residence showcases his signature details: an open glass staircase with French oak steps floating on angular steel plates, cedar light soffets, sea pearl quartzite countertops, and a glass shower lined with wavy Spanish porcelain tiles textured like windblown dunes. With over 35 years of experience, the firm has designed projects across Del Mar, La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Point Loma, Encinitas, and as far as Aspen, Colorado and Maui, Hawaii. Meredith navigates Del Mar's notoriously complex design review boards and art juries with what the firm describes as a high success rate of approved designs. Just steps south on Camino Del Mar, Urban Builders offers design-through-build general contracting for homeowners ready to move from architectural plans into construction. Style range spans Contemporary, Craftsman, Modern, and Mediterranean, though residential work remains the firm's passion. One Yelp reviewer noted that Meredith designed a replacement for their 60-year-old Olde Del Mar home, carefully positioning rooms to capture the best ocean views from each area of the lot. Clients looking to pair architectural plans with interior finish work also connect with Honey House Interiors for furnishing and decor coordination. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, at (858) 755-5591.
