Kyle MertensMeyer is the founding principal of August Green, leading an interdisciplinary team of designers and thinkers creating human-centered spaces and experiences in both physical and digital environments. August Green works across the temporal boundaries of Asia, Europe, and the United States, where our designs have received international design recognition for the past decade.
In 2016, Kyle was named the Will Ching Designer of the Year by the International Interior Design Association in Chicago. August Green's recently recognized works in 2022 include the Peacock Cellar in Shanghai, awarded Best Global Project by F.X. Magazine, and the Bethesda Medical Center in Haiti, awarded by the Boston Society of Architects and the AIA.
August Green's ethos is to improve the places we live through design, create beauty, and solve challenges across all scales. We practice an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving to magnify the positive influence of impact-driven design on the built and natural environment.
We believe that true sustainability is based on understanding the nature of the ephemeral and that every decision we make will impact lives today and beyond. "We must always ask, Why are we doing this, and who is it for?" As adaption and resilience become an important focus for the future of our cities, We pursue the interdisciplinary interests of economists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, engineers, philosophers, artists, and even metaphysicists within our work. "We have to envision the future while staying relevant to the needs of the present."
