Our Team.
Peter Morrow Meyer
Peter has always been inspired by the landscapes of New England. He was born and raised in Williamstown, Massachusetts, a college town nestled within the Berkshire Mountains. This early experience of living amidst the Williams campus instilled in him his initial interest in art, architecture and design. In 1977, Peter attended St. Lawrence University where he studied sociology, geology and ornithology. He captained the 1980-81 men’s varsity soccer team and spent many hours exploring the Adirondacks Mountains and St. Lawrence Seaway landscapes. Following a brief working experience in New York and Boston, Peter attended Cornell University’s Graduate School of Art, Architecture and Planning. At Cornell, he received the Robert James Eidlitz Traveling Fellowship to study the architecture and landscapes of Cistercian Monasteries in France.
In 1989, Peter joined the Office of the Daniel Urban Kiley in Charlotte, Vermont. For the next fourteen years, Peter worked alongside Dan as a project manager and lead designer, collaborating with architects and artists on many notable projects including the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, WI, The Getty Museum, Los Angeles, CA., The European Court of Human Rights, Strassbourg, France The Four Season Hotel and resort, Miami, FL and hundreds of other projects across the globe.
In 2003 Dan Kiley closed his office and Peter and his wife Katie Raycroft-Meyer established their own practice, RMLA in Bristol, VT.
Katie Raycroft Meyer
During her twenty-four years as a practicing landscape architect in Vermont, Katie has had the opportunity to work in many aspects of the profession. She has managed projects at all stages of the design process, from the initial site inventory to implementation and as a planner and facilitator she has collaborated with many municipalities and community groups. Katie has taught courses in Landscape Architecture History and Theory at Burlington College and Site Construction and Management at Vermont Technical College. She has coordinated community art projects with local elementary schools and volunteered on planning and design review boards.
Katie received her undergraduate degree at St. Lawrence University, studying biology, ecology and fine arts, graduating in 1981. She initially pursed a career in marine biology, but her passion for the arts, eventually led her to the field of landscape architecture. In 1985, she continued her education at Cornell University’s graduate school of Architecture, Art and Planning.
Katie’s greatest personal achievement has come from pursuing a career that she loves while raising her three children to be happy, respectful and curious life learners. As a lover of nature and art, she never misses an opportunity to share these passions with them.
