SD Studio is an independent residential design practice founded by Meghan Cihasky. In 2022 Meghan graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a Bachelor of Environmental Design, majoring in Architecture with a Landscape Design focus. During her studies, Meghan honed her conceptual design skills and developed a deep passion for creating architecture that is functional, holistic, and aesthetically engaging, while exploring sustainable and inventive materials.
Since graduation, Meghan has continued to refine her expertise by listening to clients’ needs and helping bring their dream spaces to life. Whether through detailed 3D modeling and renderings or precise construction drawings, her work reflects a consistent commitment to creativity, craft, and thoughtful problem-solving.
Meghan’s love for architecture extends to a broader passion for art, the outdoors, and creating timeless, handmade pieces. Sewing, sketching, painting with watercolors, and time spent in nature all inform her design approach. By merging the practicality of architecture with artistic intuition and a deep connection to the natural world, she brings a thoughtful, innovative perspective to every project.
Meet the Designer
Sundance Studio believes great design begins with listening — to the land, to light, and to the people who will inhabit a space. Each project grows from its site and context, shaped by collaboration and curiosity. Our work is guided by simplicity, craft, and an appreciation for natural materials that age beautifully over time. We aim to create spaces that feel effortless, intentional, and deeply connected to place.
Approach
We view sustainability as an inherent part of good design. By responding to climate, orientation, and material life cycles, we create buildings that perform efficiently and belong to their environment. From passive strategies to durable, locally sourced materials, our process seeks balance between ecological responsibility and timeless design.
Environmental Design
Our process is collaborative from the start. We believe that thoughtful architecture emerges when clients, builders, and designers work together with transparency and shared vision. Early communication allows ideas to evolve organically, ensuring that design, constructability, and budget remain aligned through every phase of the project.
