Downtown Meridian
Downtown Meridian is the historic core of the city, platted in 1893, and its residential streets still show it. This is a grid of individual homes rather than a planned subdivision, and the lots run smaller and tighter than elsewhere in Meridian.

A century-old bungalow can sit directly beside a home finished in the last few years, because this area has seen steady infill alongside its original housing stock. No two properties here start from quite the same place.
The Area

Smaller does not mean less. It means the run has to be planned properly, with the cook line, the counter and the seating sized to the space you actually have rather than squeezed in afterward.
Access matters more here too. On a tight lot it is worth knowing how materials will reach the back garden before the build is scheduled.

An older home comes with a smaller yard and more established constraints. A newer infill build on the same street might give you more room to work with. Either way the plan comes from your lot’s actual dimensions and condition, not from what a historic Meridian property is assumed to offer.
Material choice does more work here than almost anywhere else in the city. The finish on a build behind a Craftsman home should not look like it was chosen from the same page as one behind a new build.
Common Questions
Usually yes. A run sized to the space works better than a large one crammed in, and small lots are most of what we build on down here.
Not if the materials are chosen for it. The finish is what ties a build to the house, and that is a decision we make with you rather than from a catalog.
