Lily Meier, RA

Lily Meier is a licensed architect who has been designing residential renovations, additions, and new homes in the greater Philadelphia area since 2013. Lily worked at Abby Schwartz Associates for over 11 years, leading the design and delivery of custom, high-end residential projects across the region as the firm’s Director of Architecture.

Lily loves working side-by-side with her clients.  Her approach is open and conversational: an iterative process which leads to a personalized design that blends beauty with lived-in comfort and functionality. Her background as an artist and designer is intrinsically intertwined with her architectural sensibility.

Outside of the office, Lily can usually be found cooking, hosting friends, and spending time with her husband and toddler in her favorite place: home!

“Lily took the time to truly understand how we live and how we envisioned using our space, then translated that insight into designs that are both highly functional and genuinely beautiful. Every decision felt intentional, and the final result works seamlessly for our everyday life while still feeling elevated and timeless.”
- Julie C.

“[Lily] transformed a very dated 1980s space into our dream home, blending modern and mid-century modern vibes beautifully. Rooms were relocated, others were eliminated altogether, and more functional spaces were created—making everyday living so much easier and very, very cool…With her expert guidance, Jeff and I felt confident making decisions along the way.”
- Hennie S.

“We knew we wanted to renovate but we had no idea where to begin. Lily guided us through the entire process with patience and precision. We felt informed and engaged in the project from start to finish, and we love our transformed home.”
- Daniel M.
