Victoria Meyers architect (hMa) has designed buildings around the use of natural light. Victoria works with natural materials, light and nature, using a minimal palette to achieve unique spatial experiences for clients. hMa's clients include private and public organizations who build public buildings, including monasteries, churches (Tenth Church of Christ, Scientist, NY), Community Centers (Battery Park City Community Center), institutes and universities (Pratt Institute, for whom hMa designed Pratt Pavilion), as well as private clients, who build residential projects, including Holley House, and Ash 4Ways. Holley House, above, uses a palette of natural materials. The various materials, including local stone, wood, and glass, create a powerful transitional sensibility through the house, and light creates the sequences from public to private spaces.

Won Dharma Center in Claverack, NY, is a Buddhist Retreat where hMa designed a campus including five buildings. Shown above is a view of the site looking west toward the entrance to the Permanent Residence building, with a view of the Administration Building and Meditation Hall beyond. The Won Dharma Center is the winner of two Design Awards, from the Wood Design and Building Council and from the Faith and Form/ IFRAA Design Awards competitions. Won Dharma includes five buildings on a 700-acre campus, designed by hMa to have a Zero-Carbon Footprint.
Redhook Center for the Arts, below, is a public building where the public spaces are bathed in natural light, mediated by painted surfaces that create washes of color. Redhook Center for the Arts is a 20,000 square foot community center located in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, NY.

Arts International, below, was designed as as a large interior gallery, surrounded by private offices. The office areas had large windows, and clear glass panels to the Gallery, so that even as an interior gallery, this inner space is still flooded with light. Arts International's Headquarters is located in New York City, on Park Avenue South.
