Avery Meridian
Managing Principal
Founded Verticea after two decades on unitised towers and civic atria. Holds the practice’s technical standard and client relationships on major mixed-use work.
Leadership
Principals who still read the details.
Verticea is led by people who have spent their careers on envelopes — not on org charts. Every major commission has a named principal.
Lena Quay
Principal, Façades
Leads curtain-wall design and construction support. Particular focus on complex geometry, expressed frames, and factory-to-site quality.
Soren Hale
Director, Performance
Building physicist. Thermal bridging, hygrothermal risk, Title 24, and the carbon brief for clients who intend to hold their buildings.
How leadership shows up
Principals attend kick-off, mock-up, and the first installation floors. They do not vanish behind a project manager. That is a cultural choice: the envelope is too expensive, and too public, to be unsupervised at the moments that matter.
