What do you love most about your job?
Merissa’s approach to design begins with an in-depth inquiry into the true identity, intent, and vision of the project. By working closely with her clients, she develops dynamic spaces and structures that harmoniously integrate the foundational values discovered during the in-depth inquiry. Her objective is for this distillation process to not only solve the requirement of the project but to ultimately bring intrinsic joy to the project's occupants.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Shortly after, she was recognized for her ability to embody a natural harmony in her creations and received her first big break. Her passion for modern architecture was recognized by a client looking for to restore their Hollywood Hills house, The Kun House, designed by world-renowned Richard Neutra. This project helped launch Merissa's Los Angeles-based architecture firm, Periana Architecture, in 2009. Since then she has had the privilege to work on some of the most iconic modern masterpieces in California, including the restoration of R.M. Schindlers, El Pueblo Ribera Court, the creation of the 50x50 Core House by Mies van der Rohe in Napa, and Le Corbusier’s Maison Errazuriz in Tomales Bay. In addition to her work on these iconic homes, she has been responsible for several remodels and ground-up construction projects that include single-family homes, multifamily dwellings, as well as commercial retail and workplace interior projects in California. Merissa values each project and takes a shared ownership approach, bringing her creative eye and sophisticated sense of style and design to each assignment.
