02 / WHO WE ARE
The Future of Efficient, Lightweight, & Resilient Construction.
At MERIDIAN, we believe that some of the construction industry’s most pressing challenges can be solved by leveraging advanced lightweight materials.
But theory is nothing without measurable results. From building the world’s first prefabricated solar-powered passive house made of high-performance textiles (Techstyle Haus), to adapting the technology to address the air-pollution crisis in Mongolia with the Passive Ger, our system and assembly designs were born from the necessity of solving the world's most difficult building challenges.
After serving as the lead Design Engineer for Saint-Gobain's U.S. off-site construction initiative (one of the world's largest building material manufacturers) and getting a bird's eye view of the future of the construction industry on a global scale - MERIDIAN's founder, Kim Dupont-Madinier, has taken these industry insights and translated them into a scalable and customizable industrial product-platform, the lightweight building assembly (US-20230340779-A1)
By harnessing our deep industry expertise to bridge the gap between advanced building science and manufacturing rigor, we provide project stakeholders with a patented off-site construction solution that eliminates project variables, compresses construction schedules, and radically improves unit economics while reducing carbon footprint.
